It's actually a sweet ride.. just a few points though.
1: the hand brake and gear knob are satin finished, yet the steering wheel isnt, nor are the door vents or door handles..
2: the audio system is a bit weak, 6 speaker. 2 tweeters in dash, 4 speakers in door pods (2 front & 2 rear). They should have used the parcel shelf.
3: no kick plate under the glove box to protect the air box and harness. (apparently from what i have seen, no current vz commy has this :supersad: )
4: no glove box lighting yet the holes are there and open (not plugged)
still, it's a nice car for a six.. have already ordered all the satin finish items, rear parcel shelf from a calais and sv6/8 tail lights. The back needs something to distinguish it from an exec.. more than just the bumper and exhaust tip. The sides look a little plain with no badging, strips or contrasted colours.
It has calais sports suspension which makes it a tight car for turns. Mind you I have only had the car for 5 days so can't really give much of a performance briefing..
Colors are limited (as per GMH website).
Upgrade to full leather trim is as per the exec even though its partial leather anyway. The cloth inserts actually suit the leather so its a reasonable trade off.
at 32990 inc all charges and on road costs.. it rips the bottom out of the standard exec which is book price 34700 with out air or stacker or power rear windows.
and.. as for those black strips on the roof?
You be damn glad they are there if you ever need your roof replaced... out with the air chisel and away it goes. You end up with a much better roof replacement job in a far quicker time.
cheers
