My girlfriends review of a brand new VE SV6 Ute

[4.0i_SiX]

As the title suggets, my girlfriend arrived home after spending the day in a brand new VE SV6 work ute. She is completely unbiased and knows next to nothing about cars. Granted she drives a BA Futura but her previous car was a Holden vectra and her dads car is a VT calais which she enjoys driving.

Her exact words were, I drove a brand new commodore SV6 ute today. My reply ( expecting the worst, ie "I want to trade in the BA for one" ) What did you think?

Her reply to my relief, It was ok but............It felt pretty slow, the motor was very noisy ( she described the sound which cracked me up) , the steering was heavy and the handbrake was very flimsy. She thought the interior was pretty tacky and much preferred everything about her BA.

She said it was "ok" but if she were looking for a new ute and test drove it, she would be very disappointed. Keep in mind this is someone who doesnt know jack all about cars. How do Holden sell so many cars to the masses? I dont want this to be a Holden bashing thread by any means, but its painfully obvious which is the better car to drive
