I drove my first VF today, a blue SV6 sedan with 700kM on it.

In the last 5 years or si i'd driven VE SV6 and Calais, lots of Camrys and BF XR6 and G6E.

Until now only the G6E I could say was as good a car as my V2 CV8.

I was hugely surprised how good the VF is. The driveline was nice, engine revved out a bit too much for me but the V8 would fix that. Gearbox, steering, suspension and seating is all very good.

So for the first time since the V2 I am impressed with a Holden or Commodore. So much so if it wasn't for the IRS i'd consider an SS ute.
