Well for starters about the fit and finish
Plastic is to fragile so in reality the VE is to fragile,
Which plastic is fragile in the VE? The only piece I can think of that regularly fails is the seat trim on the side of the drivers side seat.
cheap looking interior, cheaply made
Entirely subjective there. I'm not a fan of the centre console on the VE cars but then again the dash plastics of the VT-Z era cars are just as bad imo. You are welcome to disagree and your opinion will be equally valid as we aren't talking about objective assessments.
, poor reliability reviews,
And the actual failure brake down rate per km travelled VE compared to previous models???
constant issues,
As above???
mechanical wise it wouldnt ever come close to out living a cast iron block thats as well maintained as mine.... same with the transmission.
orly??? I presume you are comparing to the old 5 litres??? Don't get me wrong - I love the old holden motors and they are very reliable however they do have their problems. Particularly valve train wear, cam wear amongst other things.
You can say im only modern cars kind of guy but in the end a WH Caprice will out last the most recent of holdens
With both being maintained properly??? I strongly disagree
Also the use of aluninum look interior trim..... absolutely hideous
once again. Subjective.
Couldnt think of anything worse than a VE
That 6L V8.... its slow
One thing to.... i cant stand it
I would rather drive my more expensive Jaguar around a track than that
Reason being when it comes to refinement, quality, etc holden gets shat in the face by Jaguar easily no matter how old the car is
So you don't like the car. Fair enough. 6L V8 being slow? There are plenty of faster cars out there. There are very few that do it's intended purpose for less money as quickly too. This "slow" argument is just bs really.
