    havent driven one either, but i really like the interior. Best looking interior holden has done imho. The Sandman may well be a bloody good car.

    i prefer the v6 auto to the v8 in both VE and VF. VF V8 in auto is sluggish and the one I drove had a pretty crummy shift. VE Series 2 v6 are a great drive but the timing cover leaks and the utes scrub edges on rear tyres

    By the sounds Vombil, I think it probably depends on how one drives it!!

    the days of giving cars a hiding are over for me but i expect when i bury the foot it will jump to life. the VF v8 auto just felt lifeless off the start of the throttle kind of like a vz alloytech feels. the ve vf v6 felt more responsive

    It is just the drive by wire pedal response I think.

    V2 is gone to a new home in QLD

    Yeah that's it.
    We considered buying a VF Clubsport in Peacock Green.
    I agree it is one modern colour that possibly could be used on an older model.

    The vf is one great car,
    I have owned a lot of tuff streeters over a 30 year period both holden and fords
    I can honestly say the vf gts I own is the best car I have ever owned!
    The heads up display is a cool thing!
    I have owned it for a while now build no 182 but my hart pumps still every time I jump in it!

    Got a pic? Mate of mine has a White one. Haven't seen it in the flesh yet but I'm keen to park it next to my Palais White HZ GTS for a family photo.

    HJRAY, i have similar gadgets in my VF Calais V and i have found an interesting quirk with the voice command system. I have an Android phone and when i use the voice system to make a phone call, i have found that the more i try and articulate my words, the worse it recognises me. If i speak naturally as an Aussie (bastardised English and run my words together badly) it recognises my command every single time! Do you have any electronic quirks in yours?

    The heads up display and the orange blind spot lights on the wing mirrors are awesome!!!!!!!
