Who'd buy a Commodore??

[Pedro]

As some of you know, my F6 has gone to rest.

While waiting for the insurance payout I hired a VE Commodore from Avis.

Now you may think I'm biased towards the Ford product, but truthfully I would buy any other brand if I thought it was better within the price bracket.

Ford aficionados, breathe easy. What a piece of crap that Commodore was. I can't believe people plonk down good money and buy them.

I drove from the Gold Coast to Noosa last week to look at a Mustang and after the 500kms round trip it took 3 days to get over the back ache.

The V6 engine is agricultural. It sounds like a chaff cutter ... sorry you younger guys don't know what that is but think - using a dremel on a thin sheet of metal.

The cruise control is hidden under the steering wheel and so requires it's function to be committed to memory and it also has a mind of it's own and doesn't always carry out tasks put to it.

If I thought it had any good points I would say so, but I honestly can't find any.

I suppose the only good thing it did was convince me to buy a new F6 which I pick up tomorrow.
