1990 Holden Commodore VN 3.8 V6 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Great performance car spoilt by poor trim
Faults:
Engine management computer was fixed under warranty due to dry solder joints.
Replaced two water pumps due to noise.
Front disc brakes were recently skimmed due to a shimmy on brake application.
Plugs in the engine block were replaced after one corroded through. I was very lucky to find this before major coolant loss.
Door rubbers and window rubbers have a tendency to detach.
General Comments:
The car has a re-calibrated engine management system and extractors, and does just over 31 miles per gallon on a trip. I'm happy with that.
Small annoying faults put me off the car, but I have been able to do most maintenance myself.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Must have been a step up from a VN V6??? They are a joy to drive.
