Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / July 2006Drove a 380: Impressions on the VE
OK back here briefly (ant :-) ) First I hired a 380 over 4 days and frankly I like the shape and size, thought the rear is a bit funny, and the interior was nice, with the build quality top notch even for the base car. Bloody hell it had alm ost as many features as my now gone VX Berlina. Great power and drivability. Got 9.5L/100 on the open road and 11.3 around town. Everyone who looked at it from my family liked it, but they were scared of by the V6 fuel comsumption. Who isnt? So we were having tea and they release the VE on the news. Coming from a Holden family, we just looked at each other and said "More of the same". Holden could have made a grunty statement with the front ala Audi or Volkswagen but chose not to scare the horses by carrying over the look from the VY. Then they showed the interiors. Christ that orange was shocking. And the red dial lights on the Calais looked tacky compared to the cool blu of the 380. Then today I read sure the VE will have ESP as standard across the range, and curtain bags as an option, but a 4 speed auto on the Berlina? Mmmmm, with the 380 having a 5 speed auto I think Holden have made a tactical error. There is not enough in the VE to attract me, unless the fuel figures are significally less than the outgoing model. Looks like I am a 380 convert.

You see thats ok a car that size there arent many options for RWD (BMW 1 series but they are a bit pricey.) But yeah cars that size are generally associated with females so men driving them are generally lumped into the FWD = Gay crowd. >> >> I'll probably regret asking this, but what is the connection between >> >> 380s and a perceived sexual preference.....?

They are designed to appeal to Poofs who want to pretend they are not poofs, and so try to out-bloke non-poof blokes. You could beat a Vitara, by blinding it with all the oil smoke pouring out.

Some have marine/boat carpet and > sheepskin seat covers (over the cloth seats) :-p Err. speaking of sheep-skin (no, not trying to attract Atec to this thread:-)) They make an absolute ripper floor-mat for use under the drivers accelerator foot heel. Really. Hours of driving will often cause trouble for the right heel. Sheep-skin under that heel removes the problem. Also very good for using when beach driving, the wool takes the sand away from the feet.

Many years ago, I had to "repair" the two-way radio in a proper 4WD. The guys were complaining that it didn't work and they didn't understand why until I explained that hosing out the interior might be quick, but the radio bolted to the floor under the passenger seat wasn't water proof and was now full of mud and water, hence causing their radio problems. Not that they cared - after 2 years (from band-spanking new), 90% had only one straight panel; the roof! Neil --- Neil Fisher / Bob Young Thundercords personal opinion unless otherwise noted.

Is there really one? I was just making that up :) In all seriousness, the 380 may or may not be a good car, but I think laying out your hard-earned for one now is a very bad idea. The company is in *deep* trouble, and the value of the things is bound to be drastically reduced in the very near future. -- Regards, Noddy. > "Andy" <pandoraandypandy@hotmail.com> wrote in message > >> Looks like I am a 380 convert. > > Don't come near me, I don't wanna catch your gay :) **Too late.

Don't tell anyone, but I reckon the Poms do it better. Their McVities Chocolate Hobnobs are simply outstanding. And not gay at all.

I've spent the week learning how to suck up coffee through a mint slice, a la the lesson here a few weeks back. Only I used the el cheapo Aldi ones, but they still worked (very well).

Yep, like Saos (for reasons below). I'm not really into anything sweet or sugar, so I must be the most blokey person here :-p If it can't be dunked in hot chilli sauce, wasabi, mint source, soy sauce - or have salt poured all over it, I'm not interested :-) I even pour chilli sauce on me Dorito chips. >> Saos are all right (although they are full of sugar but pretend not >> to be) but Gaiety are boring.

Hot sauce (yanks make all kinds of it) is great, although awful with mint slices. there's some very good chilli sauce you can get at most supermarkets in the Asian bit, called Sriracha or something (has a rooster on it). Very hot garlicky sauce (more like a thick tabasco than the see-through sweet stuff), and very yummy.

I've no doubt the 380 does drive well with its lively V6, but if you are going to buy one, I'd leave it to see if MMAL shut-up business. In that case, they will be considerabley cheaper. That will be the beauty of the thing, a reasonable car at a low price,..a bit like Valiants were when MMAL pulled the carpet from under them.'

Maybe it's just me, but I can't see anything "stupid" in that all. In fact, I'd go so far as to suggest that it's *excellent* advice for anyone contemplating a new mid-sized car and the 380 is on their list. It's very likely *certain*, that MMAL is going to go c.nt up before very long, and when they do you can bet both your nuts and your freckle that the value of 380's will die with them. Buying a new 380 now would be a *very* stupid thing to do. Just like buying one before the price slashing was.... > Then again..maybe not.
