    Commodore or Aurion for durability and everyday driving?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Aurion Toyota Aurion Advice Toyota Aurion 2015 Holden Holden Advice Holden Commodore Holden Commodore Advice Holden Commodore 2015

    I am looking at buying either a new Holden Commodore SS for $44k or a Toyota Aurion for $30k. Taking into account price, I am also looking for durability, build quality and easy everyday driving in Melbourne. The Aurion appears the better bet, but the V8 Commodore also appeals, but I am not sure if it is as practical as the Aurion, and whether the overall durability and build quality is as good as the Aurion’s. The Aurion also has a fairly powerful V6 engine. In your opinion is the Commodore 6.2-litre V8 a significantly better engine than the Aurion V6 and justifies the price premium? Which car would you recommend for durability and everyday driving?

    I think you’re comparing apples with oranges in comparing these two cars. But to try and give you a guide I would say the build quality of the Aurion is a little better than that of the SS. I would also say the Aurion’s V6 engine is of a higher quality and standard than the SS’s V8, and would use less fuel, but I would say that both are equally drivable and practical in city traffic. My feeling is that the SS is an emotional purchase, the Aurion a safe one.
