Ive found a 2008 epica CDXi for $18,000 with 42,000 on the clock. In my mind its worth that price tag however yeah I wouldnt have bought the vehicle at the dealer price new. They need to drop a few thousand off the starting price and they would have a better chance of offloading these.

The Epica Look Great, once you make a couple of mods.

Yes the power is lacking but if you spend a couple of $k it’s actually pretty sweet. I could have bought a commodore. Yes more power bla bla bla but, EVERY ONE HAS ONE!!! They have become too common. Every “P” plate teenager, midlife crisis bloke or women goes out and buys one. I wanted something different and I think with the work put in it can be a fairly decent car. I’m not saying at all the commodore is bad most of theme are GREAT, I appreciate them but as I said the commonness has brought them down.

Very disappointed in the Epica. Like most Holdens – never get the first run, they just can’t clip in or glue the trims properly. Most unfortunate is the auto-gear change when needed to make a quick overtake, there’s literally almost a second delay while it sorts out what the hell to do, and on our aussie freeways that’s a second closer for a semi to give it a nice kiss.

Who is the tool that wrote the Epica review above. The claim is they tested a CDXI, yet the pictures and the comments are about the CDX. Truth is this person clearly doesent know their cars and yet they think they can write about them. Go figure?

Holden Epica is alright. Diesel/Petrol are great choices. Exterior better than when it 1st came out. Better looking than a Toyota Camry. Interior only slightly better than it was but screams KOREAN!!! Prices undercut many by $$$$. Despite all this, sales are still hovering below 200 sales a month. Import Insignia FAST! Go Holden!

Holdens Lineup is a Joke.I do remember going into a Holden Dealership a long time ago when everything below the Commodore and Deriatives that wasn’t a Commercial Vehicle was Opel Sourced.I long wish for those days.I wouldn’t be surprised if the would be Barina Buyers are now at the Volkswagen or Peugeot Dealership looking at their possible replacement or now looking at Mazda or Suzuki.

Diesel cars consume 10% less fuel than the equivalent petrol cars.

Diesel is 25% more expensive than petrol at the pump.

Diesel cars cost $2000 more than the equivalent petrol cars.

Go and do the maths :[

Kind daypart to the Australian continent (izvenite for bad English). I from East Evropy and for us dizil’nye Epiki does not sell but khochetsa poprobuvat’ as it rides. Those Epiki which prodayuca for us a bit innoy acquisitions, for us it is not on the cantilever of durackoggo box there side kompyuter stands funkcional’niy ekran insert with little nishoy or vladel’ci.
Shto touches comparing to Kia or HYUNDAI that Epika kakraz golden mean. 1. A hard plastic is used in Kia + noisy back pendant. 2. HYUNDAI at speed higher 130 km/h. vylyat’ begins on the road and very not informing management. In Epike good dirigibility and fine holds a road at speed 200 km/h., otdelochnye material not super but lochshe what in Kia, but placed better what in HYUNDAI, and also absence of extraneous noises of engine, transmisii and absence what or vibrations inbenzinovikh versions. Content with a typewriter, before Epikoy rode and on Kia Magentis and on HYUNDAI Sonata.
