Vs V6 wagon
Hi all need some help deciding, I own 3 standard vp's all v6. Ones my daily, another is running and unlicensed, the last is a wagon and is being wrecked. Im leaning towards selling my daily drive and buying a Vs. Just wondering peoples thoughts on either vehicle and which would be the better.
Cheers in advance

On one hand, you know your car.
On the other, the vs is newer, probably a little safer in the event of an accident, and very likely better on fuel if in good condition and well maintained.
Just thoughts :)

I'd go VS over VP but just because its newer doesnt mean less issues. What shape do you prefer out of the two?

I currently drive a VSII and VPII V6. Both low kms and in mint condition. I'd pick the VS as it handles better, has better brakes, ABS, IRS (not applicable to all VS's) and the Eco is quite an improvement over the Buick for a daily.

I lol at the suggestion of a VT over either. VX yes.

All subjective though.

same basic body shape but newer car and I do prefer the look over the VP. Interior is much better looking too.

Ecotec and Buick both have their pros & cons, in the real world they have very similar performance.

I personally like the look of a VP, but would take a VR/VS over a vn/vp.
More features, and prefer the interior of the VR/VS 's.

I say sell your VP and go for a VR/VS or even a VT/VX
