Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I got the Mazda 3 MPS which I think is the same.Bee Stings don't work too well traveling outside metro areas.
I replaced the whip and bee stings with a Mazda CX-7 one, is 10-12cm tall so more like a Hornet Sting. Cost $20 from any Mazda dealer.

Got my VF Calais V a few months ago. Love the car, the quality of the interior is so refined compared to the VERY Berlina that it replaced.
Some issues though
1. A parking sensor was recessed when delivered. Not noticed on delivery but rectified by dealer first week.
2. Boot release - twice now I have come out to my car with the boot wide open. The range of the remote is awesome but I must be accidentally pressing it when it's in my pocket. Older commodores you had to hold it down for a sec and it did not have the shocks that popped the boot wide open.
3. Sat Nav - all the suburbs say Sydney when programming via voice command ie if you say to go to 20 George st Paramatta it will say going to 20 George St Sydney, same if 10 Potts st Ryde, will confirm 10 Potts St Sydney but it still takes you to the correct address. Also no speed / red light cameras.
4. Rattle in the drivers seat belt mechanism, it's right next to my ear while driving and really annoying. Dealer not being very helpful with this.
5. Heated mirrors - light does not illuminate when starting the car or when heating. Manual is very vague re this. Dealer advises there is no light but looks like there should be. It is right under the blind spot alert indicator on the mirror.
Anyone have solutions or advice re any of the above?
