	~~Start~~ off ~~with~~ a ~~brief Introduction to the particular MODEL~~. ~~Please DO NOT use the same Introduction text from~~ the ~~[[Wikicars:Model Review Template\|<MODEL> Review]] page, but rather paraphrase ideas relevant to grasp an overall scope of~~ the [[~~automobile\|vehicle~~]].		The '''VT Commodore''' is Holden's 9th variant Commodore. Holden turned to European division Opel for its design while transferring the mechanical underpinnings off its predecessor, the VS Commodore. Although underrefined by new car standards, they offered long-term durability, a crucial area for Australia's reliability area. It's no surprise that the VT Commodore is well known for its reliability since the [[Holden Kingswood]].

	The VT Commodore has proved reliable but for these cars with high mileages, it's more important to check the engine for any faults. The faults include rattly valve lifters, oil leaks (which are common) and cracked exhaust manifolds recognised by chuffing noise and possible smoke. If the engine has been serviced regularly, the faults wouldn't be too serious.
