2014 VF V6 Calais, is it worth it?

Auto"s never came with LSD only Manuals.

My '16 SV6 ute (auto) has a single spinner, no LSD. Some claim they have an LSD standard but they must be referring to manuals.

There not a huge difference between the (standard) Calais and the SV6, but there are a few extras as standard. Definitely a bigger difference when comparing the SV6 to the CalaisV.

Very entertaining that brochure! Mines a Calais V Sportswagon. It does have heated seats in the front, which I noticed weren’t in the brochure so I assume was something added later on.
Definitely no cooling in the seats, other than when it’s a cold day

CalaisV had heated seats from the beginning of VF…there’s a MY13 CalaisV sedan with them in our family

Mmm, I wonder why there was no mention in the brochure? Given everything else the brochure portrays about the car you’d think they’d mention the heated seats.

The base Calais offers a much more comfortable ride compared to the SV6 with its bone jarring”sporty” ride. For me that is the biggest differentiator between the two. The styling and the extra gadgets are all a lot more subjective IMHO. A lot of it can be retrofitted (at a cost) if desired.

The CalaisV comes with a lot more gadgets and a less comfortable ride - thanks to 19” wheels vs 18” on base model.

Yes your right. I’ve just changed the tyres on mine from the original Bridgestone Turanzas to Michelin Sport 4s which makes the ride a little less harsh.
