    I'd agree with that. When there are some better (even smaller) cars than the CDTi (in diesel)....hello Fiat 500... :clap:

    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..
    Agree the above is all fact !

    And to repeat what Steve said - "if it dosn't fulfill your needs, that dosn't mean it's a stupid car"

    It's just not suited to you, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who see the AH 5 door diesel Astra as a plain boring not suitable stupid car too - simple don't buy it - as for you never buy a VE Commodore Click here to enlarge

    Yes it does. There must be absolute standards/criteria.

    90% of the people driving commodores don't *need* them and would probably be better served by another car.

    this is the most retarded argument ever!!!

    cant tow a ****in boat with an astra, can seat 5 bigmac adults in an astra , its uncomfortable to do 6 hours worh of driving in a 4cyl reving its tits out at 110km, etc etc - the astra has a purpose but not every purpose on the face of the planet

    We are a big countryand we drive big distances and to be comfortable we need big cars!! most people in australia travel 25000 + km's compared to euro and asian countries who do 15000kms if there lucky

    I recently drove a VE commo and thought it was good value for a base model.

    in saying all that, 1 in 4 cars on the road are SUVs, 95% are drivin by soccer mums. - there should be a tax on suv soccer mums!! this is a real stat btw not made up! Click here to enlarge

    I think this is a bit of a light-hearted thread. I wouldn't take it too seriously. My mate had a VE Omega for about a week while his car got repaired recently. Like you I thought it was a piece of crap, but my mate had SOOOOOO much fun with the ESP, especially in the wet

    I understand, i have mostly driven smaller fwd cars and find driving a big sloppy commo very bad, but they have their purpose and suit a large majority of the population - currently!! Trends do and can change!

    Not to mention how many commodores on our roads are actually Fleet cars....then you realise they're not all that popular either. Click here to enlarge

    Just as a note, I have no problem with a Commodore running on LPG or Diesel(if it can).
