Hi all,
I recently purchased a used Silver VF Evoke With 180,000 ks with full Holden service history for $10,900 from a local Holden dealer, once I saw the add I knew it wouldn't last long and was greeted at the car by another customer who was already looking at it for his 'brother' and was on his mobile sending back info on the car.
To cut a long story short I managed a test drive before the other bloke who was making up his mind but was told by the other salesman dealing with that guy "this guy was here first so if he puts a deposit down while you test drive it, it's his" anyway I ended up with the car after the other salesman walked in after their test drive and said congrats it's yours the other bloke was trying to get it for $9000, his loss.
My first car ever was a Silver VK Berlina, I drove the wheels off that thing!
Then graduated to a VL Berlina Turbo (both cars I wish I still had) and then years later got back into a commodore with a VE omega after the glowing recommendations of wheels motoring journalist Peter Robinson but was the one commodore I never loved AT ALL, I swear he either was paid by GM or had his rose coloured glasses on but that thing just plain sucked I remember driving down the shops one day thinking I wish this had the same Nissan engine as the vls 20 years ago! that engine sounded like a bloody tractor, anyway I'll give my comparisons in the coming weeks, but so far I can honestly say I would take the VF Evoke over any VE variant/engine type for sheer driving pleasure and comfort it's that good.
