How it scores for you10 scores
A 415-hp V8 sport sedan sleeper with real chassis credibility and room for five - heavy fuel costs are the main price of admission.
Reliability52

Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 9 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +2 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs7

About $3,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 7% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility82

16.4 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 82% of other sedans we track.

Passenger space60

Full-size Commodore body gives a genuinely roomy rear seat and 16.4 cu ft trunk.

Driving fun88

415-hp LS3, available manual, and Magnetic Ride on Holden Commodore bones; a cult-classic sport sedan.

Tech45

MyLink with decent features for 2015, but tech was never the point.

Comfort55

Well-damped and quiet for something this rapid; comfortable long-distance sedan.

Value retention55

Typical resale value for a sedan.

Capability0

No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
