It's no good for a large heavy sedan and that's where if the Commodore had the Barra it's be the best car ever, as the rest of the VF is great |
You must have driven "Friday build" cars Franco. Or maybe the VFs are better than the VE versions.
I have 2 VF V6s, my 3.6 SV6 sedan & the better half's 3.0 Berlina Sportwagon. Both good reliable daily drivers, both now nearing nearing 200,000 km on the clock.
The 3.0 wagon goes almost as well as the SV6, plus is very economical. We can drive Sydney metro to Melbourne metro without refuelling.
The main thing with both the Alloytecs & the SIDI version is regular oil changes with a quality oil.
