Holden Calais 2016 Q&As

My Holden Commodore keeps rattling
The widow is probably rattling in its channel, which should be obvious when you remove the door panel to check it. The dealer should be able to fix it, and since the car is in warranty it’s their responsibility to do it. Keep at them, if not take it to a body shop.

Camry or Calais for reliability?
Both cars meet all of your requirements, they have 5-star safety, they're comfortable, have a large boot, and plenty of power for overtaking. Either one would be a good choice, but if I were to be making the selection it would be the Toyota for reliability and resale.

VZ Commodore and Calais V wagons, difference in fuel consumption?
If you want the V8 then you should have it. The economy will be good enough on highway work but remember it will suck fuel down on short trips or if you uncork the performance away from the traffic lights.

Hot hatch or sports sedan?
Years ago when you owned your Torana it was considered something of a performance car, as the Clubsport, SSV and Calais are today, but there are many other ways of getting your driving thrills today without having to go for a V8. Some of the hot hatches now available would give you all the thrills, and more, than the big-bangers of old. Take a test drive in a VW Golf GTi or one of the fast Ford Focuses and I'm sure you'd rethink your choice. All the cars you mention, the Clubsport, SSV and Calais are good cars with plenty of grunt, the V8 sound, and the comfort of a big car. For mine though I'd be going for a hot hatch.
