Faults:

Fuel and temp gauges work on and off.

Interior is poorly assembled.

Over heats really bad, so got an electric water pump put in and it is as cool as a cucumber.

Windscreen wiper blade holders rust bad and will result in a scratched windscreen.

Rusts around the rubbers on the back windscreen, but does only do this with age.

Brake lights short out heaps due to bad wiring and poor original globes.

When the power steering goes the whole kit and caboodle will have to be replaced sooner or later.

Door rubbers come off really easily so glue them back on the second they start to come off.

General Comments:

The engine is so good, I have never had a problem with it.

It has decent power, but all you got to do to make it quicker is bolt on an S.T.A supercharger which requires no extra engine work and you automatically have 50-75% more power which I think is very NICE.

Faults:

Very reliable car, although it has been well maintained. The only problem so far was the fuel pumped failed a couple of months ago.

General Comments:

Very quick car, 125KW seems very modest. I've driven most of the later model Commodores and the VN seems to be a lot more responsive.

Mine's fitted with FE2 suspention and KMAC camber adjustments, it handles quite well, but nothing like the later models.

The manual transmission makes it fun to drive, but care needs to be taken in the wet, the back end is not hard to lose.

Faults:

Oil leak in the engine - not too hard to fix although it can be a little expensive.

Fuel pump broke - happens to most VN's, and although it's not too hard to fix it can be annoying.

Other than that, not much else has gone wrong, and I have found the car to be very reliable.

General Comments:

My car is an absolute ripper! Easy to drive and has a very loud rumble to it which makes the car a very enjoyable car to thrash and drive hard!

The FE2 suspension makes the car handle quite well which makes high speed cornering fun, although caution must be taken in the wet because the back end is easy to lose if you get on the accelerator too quickly.

The car itself has had a few modifications added to it, such as it's been lowered 11 cm off the floor, 17 inch Club-sport added, VN Group A Body-kit to it as well as a Big Bore Exhaust which makes the car one of the loudest and most attractive on the road!

It is a car for "P" Platers to stay away from due to its high performance, and although it is a fantastic car to drive, caution is required due to its very light weight chassis.

I recommend this car to the ordinary guy who's looking for performance as well as economy, and I guarantee that it will bring good times!
