Series 1 or Series 2?

[burleighboy86]

In the market for an upgrade from my aging VT.

I have had my eye on the series 2 since it's release, but think $36k+ is a lot of dosh. I'd just like opinions on whether the value is in the money difference between the 2.

I 100% would love an SIDI Alloytech, so it seems it's between a Series 2 sv6, and a much cheaper MY09 (correct me if I'm wrong) Series 1.

I find it hard to go past the Series 2 simply for the IQ system, and subtle changes to the exterior. But, as I mentioned earlier, it would seem a good $10k+ separates them.

Series 2.. Alloytec makes 20kw more to.

the series 2 sidi does not make any more power than the series 1 sidi ... get your facts right ...
Also i think that the series 1 looks externally better ... but you are right that the iq is hard to go past ... i have a my10 sidi built 06/10 and i was very annoyed when i found out that had i waited another couple of months i would have been able to pick up one with the iq system ... its just annoying

hipee

ALWAYS series 2 main reason is that the problems from the series 1 are fixed and makes for a better car, simple rule buy the best get the best. Hope that helped.

OK, so it really doesn't take much to sway me towards a Series 2.

Performance wise, can you guys tell me how different, if at all, they are.

Depends if you would like to spend the extra $10k+

That is the dilemma I have though.

Basically, the Series 2 needs to justify the extra cash. I'm asking for opinions on if it does, or not, do that.

Sorry for the misleading info. Mate's Dad bought a new ute and he said he was told it had 230kw.... lol Dealers..

Thinking I'll go the Series 2, as if I buy a Series 1, I'll forever be disappointed...

Im new to owning commodores, this is my first one.

I would never have considered buying a series 1 purely because I found the interior boring (air vents, aircon controls, stereo). The series 2 IQ system (plus round airvents in my sv6) did it for me to warrant the purchase
