2000 Holden Calais VX 5.7 Gen 111
Summary:
Complete crap - worst car I have ever owned in 40 years of motoring
Faults:
Serious vibrations throughout car at 50-80kms/hr.
Rattley engine noises.
Reverberations throughout the car from the exhaust system.
Big "clunking" noises from the differential when changing gear.
Automatic shifts severe -- big bang - not smooth.
Creaking doors.
Huge gas gobbling appetite - not matched by the performance.
General Comments:
Sold as a luxury car -- $54000 to put on the road -- consider the sale of this vehicle as a luxury car to be out and out fraud.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I am surprised at your review of the VX Calais. I have just bought this car second hand and it is fantastic. I have yet to experience the issues that you are experiencing. Overall I think you may have been a little harsh on the vehicle or your car needs to be taken to a authorized Holden dealer to rectify the problems.
