Love the 3L. Smoother and revier than the 3.6. Not a lot of difference in economy around town but the 3L is fantastic on a trip.

Brakes were not a high priority for most Aussie car manufacturers of the era.

6 cylinder Centuras went like Sh** off a stick.

You would think so but governments seem to have lost interest. On current prices it would need to be about 4c/l cheaper than 91 to make economic sense.

It's interesting that other states never followed Qld and NSW with a mandate. Even in those states 91 far outsells E10. Sales of E10 have been declining over the years. Even in Qld and NSW it is not being promoted. Promotion of flex fuel cars peaked with the VE.

Can't see E10 becoming the default fuel. Very few people are actually buying it. It has become less and less price competitive over time. 91 will need to be kept for less sophisticated engines, lawn mowers etc.

Only that VF is much thinner.

Sounds very much like what mine was doing. RACQ could not detect any faults. Ended up having to replace both sensors and harness.

And a red car must be sportier than any other colour!!!!

The flex fuel engines can run e10 or e85 but no benefit in running e85 due to cost. E10 is cheaper than 91 per litre but will use a bit more than 91 octane. Absolutely no benefit in running 95 or 98 in a standard engine. It is just petrol company hype and will just cost more.

I'm a big fan of the 3L engine. A bit down on power compared to the 3.6 but a lot smoother and revier. Economy is not a lot better than 3.6 around town but fantastic on a long trip

No. Optional.

When the car are upside down they look even less like a real car!

Probably about the fairest result the stewards could come up with under the circumstances. Feel a bit sorry for Fabs but also unfair that those he held up didn't get a fair chance.

They are an advanced engine and fine generally if properly serviced. Some older engines can handle more abuse but are not as refined.

The resin even if stored under ideal conditions will deteriorate after about 6 months. It is false economy to try and use it.

South Australia's loyalty to the Holden brand must still be continuing even though no Holdens built there anymore.

Listening to that review it must be the greatest car ever made lol.

Probably used to driving Morris 1100s.

It works much better if they want to give them a bit of a shake up on the wsy!

Saw a wagon yesterday. Even they look tiny.

Waiting for TCR. Much closer to rral cars. Supercars are nothing like real cars and the rules make everything too artificial.

Stingers look mean as RPC cars. A few unmarked ones as well. Would expect the Sonatas are not as good as a VE/VF but obviously superior to a ZB.

Qld police are extremely happy with Stingers for Road Policing Command and Sonatas for General Duties.

I havn't had one in about 10 years. My wife gets one every couple of months.

Only issue I have heard about is a problem with the yellow paint. Kia offered to replace cars or repaint them. Wonder what General Morons would have done.

Yes but still leaves the latest Opeladore for dead and they are going from strength to strength and not backwards.

There are a few. Kia for one do a lot of changes for the Australian market and seem to get it right most of the time. They also do something that GM don't- listen to and support their customers.

The incompetence and the downward spiral continues.

Ah when you think what could have been with some decent management.

Wish I had never sold mine.

It is really person preference. I prefer the Calais wheels. Thr Calais and the Evoque definately have the best ride.

Must admit there seems to be very few Cruze on the roads these days. A year or two ago they were everywhere.

Kia is 7 years in Australia. Seems Kiwis are being short changed by a few of the companies. I guess i f Holden are only selling a handful of cars in NZ they can't offer any more. They may not be around long enough to even support the 3 year warranty.

Definitely is an offence. Constitutes illegal disposal and probably illegal contamination of a site. Contact the EPA and keep onto them until they get action.

EPA?

Very good results for an engine of that age. Nice to see the company including comments in plain English rather than just a list of numbers.

The thing with most SUVs these days is that they are just such great value. I still have my Commodore and never thought I would buy an SUV but started looking around for a car for my wife and ended up with a Kia Sportage. It is a reasonably base model but has everything that opens and shuts...

Maori and islander boys?

Haven't heard from them for a couple of years. Now I am starting to get emails saying my service is due. Trying to scrape in every dollar they can with very few cars going out the door.
