 Holden Commodore S VT NRMA original car review - Motoring - MyNRMA
Holden has had a lot of success over the years marketing sporty versions of the Commodore and the new VT range offers plenty of choices, ranging from the S Pack model tested here, right through to fully modified and optioned models from the HSV division.
Accommodation in the S is the same as for other VT Commodore sedans, meaning ample front and rear space for adult occupants, and good comfort for at least four of them.
All round, the Commodore S represents a good choice for the buyer with family responsibilities, who wants a sporty-looking car with good handling, strong brakes and ample performance, but who doesn't want to outlay big money on some exotic sports or luxury car.

 Holden Heaven - Old Holdens - Holden Commodore Handling
Getting your Holden to handle is always going to be a compromise as you have to consider several important factors, least of all the fact that it is road registered.
There are some very good lowering kits available for all the holdens and you should never ever use heat or cut a coil from your springs as this is illegal for good reasons, heat re-tempers the springs and could cause a spring to fail under load.
Too much movement in the suspension areas and your Holden will feel wishy washy under hard cornering and too little movement means that you feel every stone and crack on the road and if you feel it then all the components in your car feels it which can lead to all sorts of uncalculated problems.

 VE Commodore secrets revealed - News - Motoring - theage.com.au
Holden, as with most makers, doesn't play all its cards at once at new-model time, so displacement on demand (which shuts down up to four cylinders under light loads or when cruising downhill) may be held up Holden's sleeve until Series II time, about a year after launch.
Both Holden and HSV have opted for the biggest brakes possible because it is difficult to tamper with the brakes (such as fitting larger calipers or discs) when the car is equipped with an electronic stability program (ESP).
Holden knows that the VE must be a car that will delight the senses, which is why there will be a strong emphasis on design, quality and European feel.

Commodore interior came in for a major facelift, and one that interestingly enough takes a similar tack to that expressed by Ford on the BA Falcon.
Holden added what it calls a Dampolator to the supercharged V6 engine which is designed to enhance engine smoothness at high revs.

 Holden Holden VE Commodore and Statesman
Designed at Holden's Port Melbourne design center, the 4th generation Commodore is the first all-new model of the series to be fully designed and engineered in Australia.
Previous generations of Commodore since 1978 have always been based on lengthened and widened Opel large car platforms of the day but since the demise of the European Omega in 2003, GM lacked a suitable rear-wheel-drive donor platform for a new Commodore, hence the clean sheet approach for the latest VE model.
With around 2.4 million Commodores having been built since the VB Commodore was launched in 1978, the new VE is not only likely to continue as Australia's best selling car but is set to become the basis of other full-size GM models for export sales around the world.
