The ZB may have been more popular if an 8 cylinder option was available
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
The fun fact here is that Tezza would have done perfectly fine in joining the Commodore club if he wouldn’t have just been constantly banging on about how his ZB is the best Commodore in the universe (which only invites criticism of such).The fact was the cruze comment did exactly as intended and that was to hit a nerve within you because you are desperate to join the commodore club and claim yours is the best.

I personally think my VE SSV is the best V8 Commodore as it has the L98 (reduces the potential for lifter problems that the AFM Commodores can get) and it doesn’t have all the tech of the VF that is difficult to fix if it goes wrong (I prefer the more aggressive styling too). I don’t spend all day banging on about it though and even spend a lot of my time on here helping others out with their car problems.
At the end of the day everyone thinks their car is the best car for them as they wouldn’t have bought it otherwise so sh!tting all over everyone else’s car choices by constantly spruiking that yours is the best isn’t going to ingratiate you to anyone.
I agree, I had a VE SSV, best car I have owned, much better than the VY and VZ SS I had before it, the VY was very rough to drive long distances , where as the VE SSV drove and was far more comfortable. surprisingly to most commenting here , my current vehicle, a ZB RSV is the second best car I have owned. In some ways the ZB is a much better car as it should be as it is 12 years younger with much better technology. My only doubts on the ZB is will it be as reliable over time. So far in 33,000km I have only had an issue with the fuel gauge. The AWD is outstanding as is the 9 speed transmission, very smooth and rides well. The V6 is very good on fuel and good power. I hate the continental tyres, very noisy on rough surfaces.The fun fact here is that Tezza would have done perfectly fine in joining the Commodore club if he wouldn’t have just been constantly banging on about how his ZB is the best Commodore in the universe (which only invites criticism of such).

Like you, just over 30,000 km's and no issues whatsoever which is pretty remarkable considering my Calais V is chock a block with technology.I agree, I had a VE SSV, best car I have owned, much better than the VY and VZ SS I had before it, the VY was very rough to drive long distances , where as the VE SSV drove and was far more comfortable. surprisingly to most commenting here , my current vehicle, a ZB RSV is the second best car I have owned.

The back seat width is a bit cramped compared to previous cars, the liftback is far more accomodating to fitting things in.
