- VE SV6 3.6L SIDI 6sp
Just wondering if anyone here owns one, or knows someone who does, that we can ask questions of?
We've got a fairly large boat and we use our VS Exec to tow it. We've heard of the transmission problems associated with the VS verses towing and got some work done on it a few months back with the plan on running the VS into the ground over the next 4 or so years until its completely dead.
Finally on the weekend we took the boat out and :b: theyve made it worse. It shdders in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It makes a grinding noise in all gears, even on the flat freeway. It cant decide which gear it wants and at 80 k's dabs back to 2nd then 3rd then 4th then back to 3rd then 4th then tried 2nd again just to be sure.
So we're considering the Adventra CX6 (so its got Active Select this time) if its everything Holden says it is it should be a decent car to pull the boat
But we're just trying to find out, more then anything, true fuel consumption figures on the new VZ sixes, especially city driving. We can find reviews that talk about its got good or bad figures on the Alloytec, but no one really lists them!
The other thing we want to find out is any problems with them and owners thoughts. I say this because we've got an SV6 (company car minus the towbar!) and its already had some minor problems since about 3 weeks old, problems you wouldnt expect with such a hyped about car!
