Huge help man, really appreciate the information. Do you happen to know the answer to the latter 2 questions I initially posted?

Appreciate the rough line out of expenses and time, it does certainly help but I'm still missing the answer to the first question which is the first piece of the puzzle :P.

Ordinarily, I would 100% agree with you but this doesn't factor in time. If the cost is remotely the same or even a little in favor of the 2017, it still means I have to wait all that time just to afford the same car with one feature that I want. I could just buy the older car now and retro fit...

Okay so, I've spent too many hours scouring these forums for more concise information on HUD's and basically no one is giving straight answers, only situational ones. My question to you all is this... I'm aware that Calais V's have HUD's stock right from VF1 but the SV6 only have HUD's in the...

Yeah I've mentioned it just recently in a reply to tommy_z but I love the idea of owning a Calais and swapping the exterior cosmetics to look more sporty but most people so far have just **** on the idea. The thought of having all the features of a CalaisV and the sporty look of the SV6 is...

I stand corrected. The normal boot lid just has this flare at the peak of it as standard. I thought it was a different style for the CalaisV. I still like the idea of buying a CalaisV and just swapping the exterior cosmetics to suit a more SV6/sportier look, but everyone is either saying I'll...

I 100% agree, all these creatures' comforts are things that really catch my eye compared to the SV6, but I simply can't get used to the ugly ass front bumper :P. This side skirting, lower door trim and rear bumper are also small details that make me look at the car and think 'old man car'. No...

I'm looking at spending around $20k, and I have a stable job which should easily be able to foot the bill of any maintain or repairs

good thinking. my 6 foot ass wouldn't have enough room

Very good point and I am aware of this however I don't plan on doing anything illegal so it shouldn't be a problem. Plus im not going for a ute so there that :P

Completely with you. Couldn't tell you how many cars I've seen on the roads without their lights on at 5:30am. The ever-increasing number of cars with daytime running lights are a GODSEND. Still pisses me off whenever I see some knob head driving around without his lights on though

Id' hope for nothing less :P cheers mate

definitely the wiser of the two choices :P but where's the fun in that. In all seriousness, I do plan on keeping the car for a while and not immediately go for a V8 as soon as I'm off P plates. a V8 may be something I consider later in life if I have a job that can support the hefty fuel bill...

So, it is possible to install a HUD onto a S1 VF SV6 albeit through some extensive work and a little bit of money. Are there any people around who will do the installation themselves or is this strictly something I'd have to do myself? I'm not opposed to doing stuff myself, but I often don't...

Ahh I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it a lot!!!

I do plan on lowering it but that will obviously come much later and not without a significant amount of investigation into how to do it properly. like you said, P platers have a reputation, and I don't want to be a top-notch d!$%head driving around in my far too low, obnoxiously loud SV6 with...

So, I'm understanding that it's wise to take these people's advice and opt against a wing spoiler despite the attractiveness, however cool Ned Kelly was? :P

I haven't driven either of the VF SV6 or CalaisV's but basically everywhere reports that the Calais's softer suspension rides smoother than the SV6 which, for cornering fast and having fun, isn't necessarily what I'm after at this point in time. I'm sure the ride with the Stock Calais suspension...

Hi, this is my very first post here and I'm also new to the car scene as I'm only now looking to buy my first car so, please excuse my lack of knowledge on commodores and I highly encourage anyone to correct me where necessary :p. So, I'm a P plater looking to buy their first (technically...
