    Default Steering too hard/Electric window

    VY EXEC MARCH 2003 SEDAN

    Steering feels hard to steer as compared to other cars as BA Fords or MAZDAs etc, is it normal with the commodores as i have felt the same with my friend's VZ.

    Is it possible to install electric windows, how much would they cost.

    fluid is good mate
    i have driven some fords and mazdas and their steering feels real power steerings, can steer with a finger. Commodores VY/VZ ???????? dont know what is their problem.
    BA Futura feels so light and fast with its steering and powerful engine, wow
    But commodores are good looking with good quality interior and more comfortable but hard and slow at the same time, i wonder why???????

    but i dont like ford's interior and exterior. Commodore is much more sexy looking car. I wish I could put the engine/transmission of new ford XR6 Turbo's in my commodore. it would be wowww

    Light steering is horrible, my sister has a Kia and **** me, its so light i recon i could put a rudder on the wheel and blow in the direction i wanna turn, i drove it around the farm, its just stupid no-one is that weak, and its quite dangerous i think. Commodores have a nice firmness to them, still easy to turn but its nice and firm.
    If you think a VY is hard to turn, try parking a HQ with no powersteering and a big donk in the front, not to mention they run wider tyres.
