HSV MALOO

Pros: Ride and handling is great; stable; performance is there when you need it.

Cons: Design is lacking hugely in the manufacture of the gearbox and clutch.

Price: $32,670 to $51,240

After purchasing our new HSV Maloo GXP in July 2010, 7 months later the clutch developed a knocking noise. The gearbox had to be removed and the clutch replaced, by warranty.

14 months later the gearbox developed a clunking noise when changing between 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. We are still having a battle to have the gearbox replaced after it was diagnosed as a design flaw in the Maloo GXP 2010 models.

After several emails to HSV Customer Care centre we have still not had our situation resolved.

So very very disappointed with the follow up care and service provided by HSV. The S for Special in these vehicles is certainly not there.
