VF

[HK1837]

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.

I am very lucky to have a VF Calais V Station Wagon as a work car. Its the best Holden I have driven, hands down. I previously had the VE Calais V and this one blows that away in every area, and its ~$9k cheaper than the previous model.

Have you still got the CV8? or did you let it go?

Lucky it wasn't a green one.

Havnt driven one yet but i do like the shape of the VF

[Alien DNA]

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
