I want you to know that it was the scariest ride I've had in a while. Have you ever tested the Electronic Stability Program on ice. It not only does not work, it is extremely dangerous. I had to drive about six hundred miles on icy and windy Wyoming roads which proved to be quite scary in the 300 with ESP. Since I don't have another vehicle of my own with this feature, it took a while to figure out why the car didn't want to drive straight down the road, even at fairly slow speeds. These cars should have a hugh red warning sticker on the dash to warn prospective drivers that this feature is not safe to use in the wind and on ice. I rented a Chrysler 300 over this past weekend.

Currently Holden refuses to give detail on the Commodore’s fuel consumption, but given that it uses the same Alloytec V6 engine found in the previous model, I’d expect the figures to be roughly the same at around 11L/100km combined city and highway driving.
