If Holdens are so good, then why is it that they don't use them as taxis? Could it be they don't have the reliability that you get from the Ford Falcons. You won't get 500 000 kms from a Commodore motor, I mean a Chevy motor, because GM can't build good motors.

I just stick to cars that are easy to maintain, not cluttered under the bonnet, and easy access with hand tools. I've been working on cars, trucks etc for nearly 30 years, time is money, so like many front wheel drive cars, the simplest repair can cost the earth as they are VERY time consuming, therefore very expensive to change parts when needed.
This why I end up doing all the repairs on friends' and relatives' front wheel drive cars when they get the shock of a repair quote, and they have new cars not old, with annoying build quality and cost cutting designs. People generally judge a car by appearance etc; big mistake.

Japanese cars ARE CHEAP and NASTY.
I've owned and ran a mechanical business for 4 years, and Falcons and Commodores are built far stronger than ANY Japanese car in their class.
BUY AUSSIE MADE!!!
NOT Japanese CRAP!!!
