Not really pissed off that it died as it was 10+ yrs old so didn't owe me much. Pissed off because of the smell. Burnt epoxy anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have a different opinion if it was an SS redline or higher since the power would be ok...but the steering isn't giving me as much feedback which has proven unnerving on the corners. Some sort of dead zone appears on higher speed ones.I don't have HUD speedo. Hoping I just need to turn it on?Comparing apples and oranges but the worse handling and braking I've had to get used to.Seats are comfier, spongier, than my 2007 Falcon. Haven't noticed the difference in driver perceived height?Interior is fine, not something I care about much... Until the round chrome trim on the AC vents etc hit me with sun glare no matter the angle. EAD to the person that designed those.The beeping warning when reversing is farked. Missus loathes it because it pierces her eardrums. Can you turn it off?When you press the shut off engine button it makes a sound like a duck quack hahaha. The indicator noise sounds like it's coming from a speaker in the cluster.Mainly I need power but the V8 range cost double to hire. The V6 is lame. Enough to get you there but boring as fark. No surprise there though. The missus summed up my experience: "It sounds like a bitch".Everything is adjustable , you just need to read the manual. When I went to Tasy I booked car with GPS but that car broke, so they gave me a V8 statesman. Nearly blew the tyres off on the way to Straun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
