    Default What is better a VX or a VT

    Hi peeps
    I'm planning on geting a car loan early next year and wanting a vt onwards commodore ina manual.
    Just wondering if the VT has anything over the VX or is the VX the better out of the 2

    thx

    VX Series 2 to be exact. They changed parts of the suspension in the Series 2 which helped with rear camber. Youll find that some VT and VX series 1 models chew through rears tyres because they suffer a common camber problem.

    I think getting a 2nd model of the same shape is always a good idea, but I guess just go with what you can aford.

    My mate has a VT and goes through two pairs of rear tyres for my one. VX all the way.

    I got a VX 2 exec wagon for just under $13k in 2006... Converted it to a manual recently for just under $1800 all up... Either way you can't go wrong (if you do the labour yourself and don't screw up)

    I've never had problems with wearing the rear tyres out so I can vouch for that. It's not lowered yet though, so I don't know if camber problems show up when it's lower than standard.
