Holden Commodore or Ford Falcon???

I have to choose either one the above, as a car for when i get to NZ, but i have not seen either, as they are not available in England.
Can you advise which one you would choose and why?
Thanks for your help!

Both are nice enough (in a well-to-do hoon kind of way). I think you won't find much difference in either, although the Holden and Ford supporters are both passionate about their preferences.

Never driven either but I think the Holden looks nicer

Thanks...I know Ford cars quite well...but never heard of Holden brand before?

If you are more comfortable with Fords, go with the Ford.

Holdens are the Australasian division of GM.

They're part of the same group as Vauxhall, Kia, loads of others.

Over here the Vectra is a Holden, Corsa is a Holden Barina (until the new one which is a rebadged Kia), Holden Astra etc.

The new V8 Commodore is sold in the UK as a Vauxhall VXR something so you can probably have a look at one at your local Vauxhall dealer.

thanks...been told it is a 6 cyl. holden...if that means anything
Not bothered what make car it is, just which is nicer to drive, looks ok and goes when you put your foot on the pedal!

I think the Ford looks nicer!

We had one to drive when we first got here.

Ford Falcon:

I'd go for the Ford too

Can't reach the pedals in Vauxhalls even with the seat full forward, so probably wouldn't reach in the Holden either

.......and no I'm not a short arse, well not THAT short, 5'6 to be precise
