- VE Commodore SV6
Just want to have a little bit of a gripe about the SV6 and get some other opinions. Probably opening myself up for some scrutiny here but meh..
1. Took the car in for a service and asked if there's a way to make the window go up automatically without having to hold the button down. Was told they were flashing the computer anyway and it probably got reset when someone d/c the battery previously so yeah no probs it'll get fixed. Then got a call to say that this feature is only offered on superior models like the calais and caprice. The window goes down at the push of a button why not make it go up?? It's a feature that been in cars for god knows how long now and it certainly can't be that hard considering it's already in their other cars. Surely not a feature worth putting an additional price tag on but I would consider standard these days.
2. If they can afford to put an mp3 ready 6 stacker CD player in a 20K Mazda 2, why can't they put at least an MP3 playable CD player in the SV6? Yes I understand its about price point and there are many other features teh SV6 has that the mazda 2 doesn't but again it's much of a 'get with the times' issue for me.
3. This has been complained about before in this forum but the aircon vents don't point up above 90 degree horizontal angle! Enough said.
4. Why do they still use an old school winded back-rest instead of a lever? And why put electronic up and down and no electronic forward and back or recline? The cost should have been shifted to make the up/down of the seat a pump action like other cars and make either the recline or forward/back of the seat electronic which i would bet others to agree is more frequently used.
I'm sure i can think of some more but unfortunately I do have a day job. Keen to hear opinions. Lets try to keep the personal attacks out of this thread.
Cheers
