Holden Rodeo - feedback

Guess what........just sent another back to the dealer this morning. That's now 6 returns for a vehicle with 4,073km's on the clock!

Not only do I cop the down time on a specialist vehicle (I can't just rent another to do the job), I lose 2 workers and one additional vehicle's time to get it down there, and the same to pick it up.

I thought the same thing, and went out and drove one with the updated TD engine - it was almost a year ago. I thought it would be as tough as a mate's 1998 model, and as tough as my 1998 Jack.

Drive comfort OK in the burbs, but crossing railway lines I thought the dash was going to fall off - if you were to stick your finger between the centre console and the dash, it would get crushed, that's how much the dash wobbles.

Couldn't imagine going to Cape York in one, the corrugations would have it in pieces.

Jumped back in the Jack and I realised the build standard is no longer there in the newer Isuzus. Pity.

Well, what are us GM stalwarts going to do mate?
Hummer is good but too expensive.

Maybe I'll just have to keep the Jack.

We'll have to wait till the Hummer is kitted out with the V6 VM Motori diesel :)

It's the same one that's likely to go into all GM vehicles such as Commodore, Cadillac, etc, and it's a beauty. Right up there with the VW and Merc V6 diesels.

By keeping the Jacks till then, we'll be able to put aside the pennies required when the time comes.
