It's sad we have lost the essence of Australia with loss of these cars. I'm one of the few that will have either as I wanted another xr6 turbo ute but settled on a immaculate SSV 6ltr ute as the Ford has in a turbo gone to high for me in price. Keep up the excellent content mate 👍

Holden’s and fords have always been about the same in power, acceleration, top speeds etc but as someone that has owned and driven both through the years I’ve always found that fords float over the rough roads whereas the Holden’s were a bit rougher. Ford in the country, Holden in the city.

Barra all the way for me haha. But lot of respect for our brothers in commodores. Aussie cars rule.😎😎😎

[greyghost]

It's sad to see Holden manufacturing and production shut down. No more Ford/Holden rivalry which was a huge part of my childhood. As a Ford owner, I hope we get them back on the road in the future because they're awesome cars.

I have a 2007 SV6 sedan, and while I'm aware of the timing chain issues, I've never had a problem, and I've had it since almost new, going on 16 years now.
Best car I've ever owned. Love it.

Great vid! I’m in Sydney and drive a 2012 SV6 manual sedan, fully stock. It makes a great daily driver because I can fit all the kids in the back but when I’m alone I can put my foot down and it always brings a smile to my face! I average about 9.7L /100km with mixed driving. I’ve previously owned VN and VP autos but the manual is so satisfying to drive! The XR6 in this video also looks like a great car!

[blazerlazer]

Feud aside, let’s just agree that the two Aussie giants are great in their own ways, Ford or Holden, they both have their ups and downs haha. And that’s coming from a Ford boy who grew up around Holdens and HSVs

Picked up a SV6 wagon a couple of weeks ago. One of the last VEs made a 2013 VE Z series LFX in the colour alchemy with 90k kms. Coming from an AU falcon I love it. So much more comfortable and way quicker. And apparently the timing chain problem was fixed in the LFX motors.

I hired a falcon xr 6 once during a holiday in oz. Got to say j really enjoyed it. Made a great family cruiser. We did a lot of miles and it was great. Seemed to suit the roads.

Over a period of 3 or so years I used to drive both Fg Xr6 and Ve Sv6 company cars long distance 4000-6000 klms a month. The falcon was the pick for me, just more comfortable long distance, seats seemed much more comfortable in falcon and seemed more powerful when over taking trucks, vehicles on long country roads. The falcon was surprisingly cheaper to run long distance too. The commodore had many blind spots, I also noticed dash rattles in the commodores. Personally prefer commodores from the 90s.

Great review mate. I would buy either one of those two over an entry level BMW, Mercedes or Audi in the same class. You just can’t go wrong in Australian conditions.

[rodneymerson]

I own a vz clubsport ls2 6spd and what a car it is !! Completely stock,
Coming from the backround of owning both fg xr6 amd ve sv6 i definitely have to say the ford is definitely more comfortable on longer trips but is more thirsty, sv6 on the other hand great for hwy driving good fuel economy, also the interior is much more ahead then the fg. But both are great Australian cars !!

[GRIPSHIFTMEDIA]

Banger of a video! Well done man. The circular polariser made a great positive difference.

[ghostridersnr]

Ross, you do excellent reviews man. Your presentation is great. I think your number one for car reviews in Oz on YouTube. Keep up the good work and don’t change the formula, it’s spot on.

[Calco]

Just returned to Australia from uk and had to buy a commodore ozzy all the way

[reeceeyles]

Loved the review. Been a ford man since day 1. I can admit that Holden always seemed to have that edge over the fords though. From streets to track. They also pinched all our good drivers in the v8s.

[AussieHighwayMan]

FK yeah Aussie cars all the way. Gone for now but not forgotten ❤

[allan-shephard]

Good vid and comparison. 👍 Even though I'm a Ford guy... those Commodores have much better interiors, and the wagons are way better looking than the Falcons.

[matthewwest]

been waiting so long for this! great vid mate

[flynndemunck]

first thing that's completely wrong with this video is the fact that ones a sedan and the other is a wagon.
