| 1466743 | 2020-02-18 19:38:00 | Never understood the point of a Holden. They’re just rebadged whatevers: Opel, Daewoo, Isuzu etc. I'm not bothered at all that Aussie no longer makes any. Most were junk too. Friends had a Opel/Holden and a Daewoo/Holden. Both caused endless problems. |

| 1466744 | 2020-02-18 20:36:00 | My Dad was always a holden man, and when my parents separated after all the kids left home he starting buying them. After 3 lemons in a row he stopped mentioning holden and started buying ford. For me personally it's Toyota, Waikato, and all politicians are pricks. The one holden I ever owned was the least reliable vehicle in my 35 years of owning cars, many of which were not great either. Ah fond memories, UC sunbird with a holden 202 engine in it. In six months it went through 3 engines, stripped a timing gear, stripped the gear of the bottom of the distributor, had new lifters, threw a rod through the side of the engine - wrecker said don't worry about that noise it's only gudgeon rattle. That's how I found out what gudgeons are and why gudgeon rattle is not something to ignore. Not that I think all holdens are rubbish, just that a lot of them were and people didn't seem to notice. |

| 1466746 | 2020-02-18 23:24:00 | LOL, not sure Ford is much better. Husband had a Ford Rodeo once. He loathed Ford ever after. There is something to be said for reliable go forever japanese cars. Or utes. |

| 1466747 | 2020-02-19 03:34:00 | LOL, not sure Ford is much better. I'm a Blue Oval boy and every Commodore since the AU has been a better buy. Ford lost their way and like Holden, deserve to die. |
