The lane departure feature in the commodore is crap, it doesnt vibrate the steering just beeps and show a light in the cluster if your outside the lane. Same goes for the crash avoidance, it only works half the time I have found?? All useless **** that cannot be relied upon.
The Falcon still has superior motors and gearboxes, but never mind that, we all like cheap toys!  |
It wouldn't be so bad if the rest of the car wasn't so lacking. The FPV's should've had the R-spec modifications upon release in '08, the XR6t should've at least had the option of a brembo 4/1 upgrade, the diff bush issue should have been resolved with FG...
And then there's the minor stuff. Black hood lining in premium models, the option of a sunroof, 'follow-me home' lighting (VE's illuminate when you unlock them which is handy when you're in low-light areas at night)
I would have bought a brand new one in 2011, but didn't see the point when an '08 F6 was still as well-equipped as they get.
