A brand new car with recalls? it happens to everyone, even the guys with budgets ten times bigger than GM Holden. This car has proven itself over the last few years to be exactly what it promised to be, brilliant. The praise the VE Holden has recieved from international journalists proves the point without a doubt. And no I don’t own a Holden at the moment, I’m currently looking for a new car & I’ve been amazed at the fantastic reviews this car has racked-up. I’ve got 60 grand to play with & this car looks mighty good. It’s a real pity most people can’t give praise when it’s due, by the way this article is also rather badly written.

Well that was a well-thought-out response sherlock

I s’pose you think the reason that country towns are full of fords and holdens is because all country people are retarded? So you’re a bigot as well as an idiot…

There’s something that no-one seems to have mentioned – country roads! You guys must all live in the city if you think the Toyjoka/Bitsamissin cars are better for Oz than the Ford/Holden offerings.

I used to live in the city too. I was a jap-car freak. Over the years I’ve had everything from a Datsun 1600 to a Toyota Camry, with a number of different Lancer’s as well. I used to love (all of) those cars when I was a city kid.

When I moved to the country I noticed two things. Jap cars fall apart on bumpy country roads. No, really, they do. Take a Mitsi from the show room 300k north of Melb and you will be rattling away before journey’s end. Fact. Had it happen. The whole back-end of my Camry nearly fell off when I first drove north. Then it cost $900 to fix. Hmmmm; that’s economical….lol

Then there’s fuel consumption. These jap cars all use a LOT more fuel when you load them up. Put a trailer on the back and forget it – instantly sluggish, costly to run and dangerous when a roo jumps out in front of you.

Ford or Holden; it doesn’t matter – they both DON’T fall to bits on country roads; DON’T use any more fuel when loaded up and DON’T cost nearly the same to service.

Moral: if you live in the bush the big aussie ‘bogan’ cars actually make a whole lot of sense!

Guessing it was dingo, but i know i’m wrong dingo has written diahorrea as opposed to the verbal variety.

VE – OK, I have no real manufacturer preference and just buy the most suitable product for me.
