    Faults - VT

    That site should give you all the Answers, But go for a VX, its like a 3rd version of a VT, But looks cleaner and they have most of the bugs worked out. My VX has been solid for 3 years, has 215k on the clock.

    VT II VX I same pretty much, minus the smallest things. VX II is better over both, it's basically a VY in VX drag.

    everyone will agree VXII is the way to go if you can afford it but a car with a good service history is still what i think is most important.I have a series I VT Exec with over 360,000 kms on the clock.My mechanic (funny how we claim ownership of our mechanics etc) reckons that it's the best Commodore of any of his customers but I just reckon that it's a great car that I know I could drive from Brisbane to Darwin tomorrow if I wished to.I have a 4 point Pedders IRS kit.I did a full trim update from a VTII S,I run good quality tyres on 16" factory alloys and I change oil and filter @ 5k intervals,plugs @ 40k,leads @ 80k auto service @ 40k and coolant and brake fluid annually.I've replaced tps,coils,water pump,shocks and springs but everything else has just been servicing (brakes, mounts,door hinge pins etc) Engine,gearbox and diff are all original and feel as strong as when the car was new.Good luck and take your time till you find the right car.

    I don't think you will go wrong with either, just buy the car that is in the better condition with a well documented service history and receipts. A well looked after and well serviced VT will be better than an average VX. Both cars being equal I would go the VX, the VX did get a bit more in the way of safety in that the 'B' pillars were strengthened to help with a side impact, and ABS brakes became standard, they were optional on VT, some revisions to the front end geometry and tailshaft and a few other minor mechanical updates were made in the VX, I have had both and both were good cars, no major problems with either.

    I think its a silly question personly...

    As its like saying should I got VR or VS? VN or VP? VY or VZ?

    If you said whats better an VR or a VT then we could have a debate.

    I have a VT SI Clubby and an S2 VX gen3 Calais but to me the only thing I can tell thats different is obviously the calais options but its the indicator and window wiper arms... Thats it.

    I think for the sake of saving an arguement just go the VX
