    Commodores suck - petrol

    I usually drive a CDTi and have had a VE commodore for the last 3 days while the dealer adds a flux capacitor to my Astra. I have done the same traveling I do in the Astra and have used more fuel in 3 than I do normally in 7

    That's my point it's a STUPID car.

    Crap handling, guzzles fuel...dumb.

    It flollops all over the road like a drunk pelican...it really does feel stupid after the CDTi.

    Horses for courses.... whilst I am not a fan of the Commodore, a lot of people appear to be.

    You could of always rented a cheap eco bomb and saved on petrol... would imagine the Commodore (apart from petrol) from the dealer was free?

    At least you now know not to buy one Click here to enlarge

    Commodore's are crap cars. Especially the VE....instead of making it lighter than the VZ they decide "hey what the heck, let's add another 100kg...the more the merrier".

    I mean...seriously

    huh??

    it's a much better car than the VZ..

    drives better, handles better, looks better, interior is better..

    100kgs? whoopee do, small price to pay for a better all-round car..

    You see the SS redeems itself by having harder suspension and serious grunt. The Omega? that I am driving feels slower than my CDTi and is a boat.

    The interior is also palpably tackier than the Astra which is neat and plain at best. If the Astra is a wood-fired pizza, the Omega is a Big Mac.
