    try the differance in the back seat of a commodore to a astra, the commodore seems much better, more room to bounce around, less of a risk of head injury,

    So I have 4 cm to spare at 6"2.

    I can't say that I have had that much headroom in the back of many (much bigger) cars than the Astra, mine usually hits.

    It happens all the time. You need to get out more. Infact a test was done by one of the motoring mags and the FWD magna did better than the RWD falcon.

    I would add one more thing: cars like Astra and the Golf, with Diesel engines, are have proved themselves as reliable, solid cars, with huge sales numbers and high resale value not only here but all over the world. The VE Commodore, launched only last year, has a long, long way to go...
    Its relative, @ 2200 that 50% of your revs. I love the cdti, but comon, its not the be all and end all that digfish makes out.

    Wrong RudeOne. The rev limiter is at 5,000 rpm. 2,000 rpm is where the turbine starts to work. To understand how this engine pulls between 2,000-4,000 rpm just test drive one.
    I wouldn't say the CDTi is the pinnacle of motoring, but you have to agree is ages ahead anything else available from Holden. Many experts said is one of the best engines in its class, too.

    Someone said that, unlike an Astra, the Commodore can carry 5 adults in comfort... That's true, but only if one of the passengers has no legs, ha ha!
    C'mon guys, we all know this sort of car is endangered species...
    GM does sell the Commodore in most places around the world. Europe's an exception due to small to medium cars being traditionally the go there. But even Opel are looking at the VE as a possibility...

    My apologies, yes it is a good engine and most of us love the CDTI astra, but digfish completely wrote off the commodore, and im not a huge commodore fan , but it has a purpose in the market place for now. digfish made a very bold statement "... what a BIG DUMB BUS! Click here to enlarge "which is comment with no value or merit and this is not the first time its happened.
