Just wanted to share and hear the comments...
The gas pedal response is slow, when i hit it, it thinks first then works, especially in normal drive mode.
The v8 6.0L sounds a lot, the car isn't that fast and figures for 0 - 100 km on websites is not correct, mine takes 6 seconds.
The default blue tooth microphone is in wrong place as others canot hear you clearly unless u raise ur chin and look towards roof....and is cheap because audio quality is very bad. A very cheap chinese lcd headunit with bt has better audio quality on bt mode paired with any device and sound is awesome.
The handbrake lever of such design was a dumb idea, its uncomfortable and not as affective and also loosens a lot.
The horn is not as agressive as the car itself, i luv the accord horn's sound also I had to replace it twice and now again one of them is off, cant say why and no more warranty?
The quad exhaust looks gr8 and makes a nice sound but not loud enough...lol
There is no a/c air coming in back seat foot area.
The seat belt alarm is annoying and doesn't shut up until u put it in.
The esp\traction is not so good when its raining.
Original key material is bad, shall be a flip key originally with a remote start like.
Side mirrors are not electric folding, a toyota corolla has it. lol
The stock car jack is the worst i have seen so far, especially this car is heavy so a better jack is required.
The stock headlight low beam is very low, especially for our city.
The rubber seals around the doors are not good quality as i can hear air coming in on high speeds and also within the city you can smell smoke and other odours from outside with all windows\sunroof and vent closed, this really kills me.
The a/c compressor makes a strange sound all the time and doesn't sound good.
Strange humming sound comes from under the car in the rear cabin on highways. Though its not that bad, feels like ur on a small plane.
Strange difference shudder sound coming from underneath while accelerating slowly in 2nd shift, dealer says its by default on all commodores, i don't buy that and gonna get it checked outside.
Rattling sounds from all over dashboard are very common on all commodores here, might be due to high temperatures here and low quality stuff.
Overall interior finishing is bad.
And I always wonder why they didn't;
Put a light in the dash or the ashtray, dash was a must ?
Install good speakers, head unit is all right though.
No xenon, this comes now with new chinese cars even...
The a/c air outlets don't close properly and dont move much upwards or downwards and when closed fully makes lots of annoying sounds.
Install front camera and rear also, front was a must as front bumper is low and scratches often while parking...atleast sensors would have helped
BUT ONCE I HIT THE GAS PEDAL ON SPORTS MODE I SAY " MOVE BIT.. GET OUT MY WAY " AND All OF THE ABOVE faults/missing e.t.c ARE OUT OF MY MIND, IM STILL LUVIN MY SS
