Car of the year 2002 my foot!! I know you guys are all Toyota freaks so probably wouldn't buy Holden anyway, but tell your mates!!
I bought mine 12 months ago the list goes like this..
1) First trip down to the Gold Coast (I live in Toowoomba) the engine light comes on. Becomes very hard to start.
2) Second time it gows for another trip to the coast, and I hardly get home! As soon as I accelerated, it splutters and nearly dies. The engine had started getting a bit noisy as well. They replace the computer and turns out the rattle was the timing belt rubbing on pulleys!! (around 15000k's on it) So no probs, just get a new one, with new pulleys and everything.
4) Just after new years I come home from Mackay, mate breaks map pocket (rests foot on it, DUH!). BUT WAIT FOR IT.... I cannot even get a new one!!! This item is a clip on plastic pocket $50.00 Maximum!!) I have to buy an entire new door card for around $250.00!!! This is what really annoys me DONT BUY HOLDEN CAUSE YOU CAN'T GET PARTS
