It is impossible for you to own a VZ SV6 from 2007, as any models produced in 2007, would have been VE’s.

I own a vz sv6 2007 it is a beautiful machine drives great on the highway especially in 6th gear, the only problem i have had was the I.R.S you know what it is already “if you love holdens” aparantly they have “re” designed the ve’s rear ebnd to counter this problem, other than that it is great,oh and also i have a vl 88 model and it is fairly well lokked after and it is in good condition all cars or most if they are looked after they will hold together after 20 odd years, if you don’t then you will notice the difference just look at the walkinshaws they are in mint conditon because they have been babied, look at the end of the day all cars have problems and break down and deteriate it can also happen from brand new manufacturing problems, but they are all just have there own sets of problems, and also i am a holden nut but if you close your eyes to other brands and models you can’t improve on what you get, i love the commodores and i know they have some issues like “irs” but if i really want one i put up pr shut up and go try other car. but i agree total with “Unbiased Car Lover” but also with some thing with missle, and if u look at the v8 super cars they all have restrictions on both cars they keep them the same mostly it is like comparing facebook and myspace they are the same !!!!! anyway enjoy guys have a good one.

You Buy a Mercedes or BMW in the same price range and no matter how much you upgrade it It’s still a Compact German 2 Litre at the end of the day.

Had a Calais V6 V for about 2 years now. 40,000km.

No European car of the same class comes anywhere near it for value for money. Have a sister with the latest 5 series. Yes it is better, but it cost $100,000 more.

One point I would like to make about marketing. I think there is a place for a “soft riding” non sports suspension, Calais V.

I suggest that the Calais be upgraded to all the V features except the sports suspension. Old farts like me want the luxury with a soft ride, but not hve to go to the Statesman which is too big for me.

Also fuel consumption. Around town does 14.5l/100km mostly in heavy traffic, but out on the open road it is fantastic.
No more than 8 l/100km when cruising along the Moonie Highway.

Cheers

John
