Very Good Performance plus Economy
Radiator had cracked and had to be replaced and the power steering leaks and is getting fixed currently.
Other than that it has been running good.
Very nice first car goes great, but can get a little interesting in the wet.

An ideal performer for a P plater
Rubber seals around the doors have come loose.
Paint has begun to chip on the roof at the rear causing a little rust, too easy to get fixed!
Rocket gasket cover leaked, cost $20 to replace.
Back brake light works on and off, but easily fixed as it was just loose wiring.
This car performs wonderfully, it runs real smooth! It has dragged of a few nice VP's in it's time with me.
The interior has stayed intact. It hasn't faded and is a very comfortable car to drive in.
It likes the wet too much making it easy to lose control of in the wet.
It has been a great first car for a P plater like myself wanting the smooth looks and performance.

A car with lots of grunt
Engine leaks oil from main seals. Started happening within 2 year of having the car. Had it fixed didn't show up again until 8 years later. Repairers say it can't be fixed without the engine been replaced. Due to plastic corrosive seals standard.
Rubber seals coming off doors.
Rust on roof top.
Radiator died twice.
Rattle in tail gate until someone re ended us and fixed the problem with tail gate been replaced.
Over heats extremely quick.
Radiator hose leaks water.
One of the cylinders died, costly to replace.
Interior ceiling furnishings are coming loose.
Wheel alignment problems from 2nd year of owning it.
Was garaged for 10 years. Last 2 years the roof became rusted from been outside.
Seat belt bolt broke.
Wipers go wild on fastest setting. Due to this one of the bolts cracked the surrounding plastic which needed to be replaced.
Computer died. Expensive to replace.
Goes well from stop to start.
Dies in second to third gear for auto.
Handles like its on ice in the wet.
Beats most things around its age.
Since it's a station wagon it is really good for camping, packs heaps into it's boot.
Good for carting lots of people at once.

It probably overheats due to the fact that it leaks coolant. Fix the problem before you bag out commodores.
I agree fully with these faults I have a 1990 vn wagon auto and it eats ass. the door seals and roof are screwed and it dies in 2nd to 3rd and is a bucket of poo. I strongly recomend not getting a vn wagon as they suck.
A highway cruiser
Roof lining sags.
Oil leak at the back of the tappet cover.
Break master cylinder went.
Door seals come unstuck.
Annoying rattle in the dash.
The car is a good reliable car, but for me lacks in performance after 1st gear. The commodore is great of the mark, but after it hits second gear its got nuthing till late in the gear.
I have lowered using king springs so it handles a lot better now and has a lot less body roll.

A high performance car
Fuel pump stop working, hood lining was falling down, paint work faded, door seals falling off.
Does very good burnouts, very fast and comfortable, handles very well. Sounds sweet with a 21/2 inch pipe.
