1983 Holden Commodore VH Wagon 2.8 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Simple, comfortable, classic
Faults:
Well, being an old car, just the usual things such as points (remember them?).
Radiator rusted out every 3 years, but perhaps putting plain water in it wasn't a smart idea! These were the old steel radiators which were all rubbish, regardless of car brand.
Seats sagged slightly in the time I had it, but the later VN Commodore seats were much worse!
General Comments:
Pale yellow station wagon with brown intercourse (ouch), oh well, got her cheap in an ex government auction. Mostly garaged, and only used once or twice a week, and a few driving holidays every year.
I liked the metal bumpers, and the metal door handles; made it feel a bit special. Didn't rust like the older Holdens, although this one had a sheltered life, spending most of the time in the garage. Very comfortable inside, with brown (!) dash/beige seating. Only had a AM radio though, LOL! Those were the days. Comfy, easy to fix and durable however!
In my opinion, the interior was better quality than the later VN Series, which I also owned.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
