- 2015 VF SV6 Storm Wagon
Hi, lifelong commodore driver. Currently drive a 2015 VF sv6 Storm wagon. I picked this up a couple weeks ago.
Prior this I was driving the 2014 VF Sv6 sedan since new, which I put ~180k km on. I feel like I know how the car should feel and sound in general.
I’ve done a forum search for similar issues, but nothing I’ve found is similar to what I’m experiencing
Since I picked up the storm wagon I’ve noticed it sounds different to the sedan. I’m unsure if the wagon is somehow different or there is a need to worry and get it checked out. The car is stock.
The car sounds different in the 2-3k rev range under acceleration. The tone of the exhaust sounds like it got an extra sound do it I can’t quite describe, but it 100% isn’t there in the sedan. The car seems to perform fine, its had its regular servicing and otherwise presents well. No loss of power, doesn’t sound like an exhaust leak etc. The sound actually isn’t even bad, it kind of makes it sound a little more aggressive in the low rev range, but it’s the same engine, exhaust etc AFAIK, So I’m concerned that the sound isn’t normal.
Kind of not sure if I need to get it looked at or I’m missing something fundamental between the models. Next service is due in a couple thousand Km – so probs a month or two.
