Well, it's a Holden so will break down a lot and when it does will cost a fortune to fix.

I see

Geelong Gent

At least it will be regular breakdown so easy too schedule maintenance.










Like every third traffic light

Is it as bad as the Vauxhall Frontera

Geelong Gent

No


But thats not saying alot. Sorry if thats spoiled your day - by all means buy it if you have your heart set on it but the quality of holden is very poor and consequently take care with your purchase.

Hmm I can imagine . I actually have a Falcon XT and thats going lovely its actually a great drive. Pity its really a blue taxi

Despite what has been said.

Holden have come on leaps and bounds with the VE and it has a very impressive safety record.

We have a few of them as company cars and as far as I know there hasn't been any problems with them.

but the quality of holden is very poor.






Compared to what?



Although if I was buying a new car for similar money (if not a little bit cheaper) I would go for the Toyota Aurion.

We are now using these as company cars and I collect my new one next week.

You get a lot of car for your money - in Australia.

Handsome car too IMHO.

Toyota is better but will probably cost more.

No, which is a bit of a surprise.

The Holden is about $33000. We are getting the Toyota Aurion for $31000.00

There is a bit of bad feeling at work about them though as most of the older aussies want rear wheel drive Holdens or Fords

I couldn't give a damn as long as I don't have to put my hand in my pocket for anything
