FORD AU vs HOLDEN VX! CRASH TEST RALLY & DRIFT! WE PUT THEM TO THE TEST!

After not being able to giveaway the mighty AU several times we decided to give it a proper send off. We put it head to head with the Holden VX to see which was the better car! What do you think was the better car? What do you guys want to see next?

    There was a reason taxi companies loved the au over the commodores. Long term reliability

    Not true at all. The AU was preferred as a taxi because the inline 6 intech was the more compatible with LPG. The V6 Ecotec doesn't like running on LPG. Simple as that mate.

    Actually that is where you are wrong it is because Ford marketed towards the taxi industry with deals and promotions Holden did not I know this because I was part owner of 2 taxi licenses until the government stuffed it but even today you actually see many VF Commodore and WN Caprice Taxis you don’t see many Ford taxis

    The AU is an excellent car. I have had 2 of them, 1) 465 000km and still going as a paddock basher. 2) Currently 340 000km and drives beautifully. The VT is tinny, jumpy and flighty on the highway and people I know who have them are always in the mechanic. I see just as many AUs around as VTs which is amazing as they sold so many more VTs.

    Some country bumkin jumped his AU, smashed the sump and you could watch the crank going round with no oil in it. The jump was so high I thought he'd break his back. Also he'd forgotten to switch the radiator fans back on; he proceeded to rev its nuts off' skidding around 'til it stopped. Later he restarted it and it stopped...he thinks it ran out of gas ! Video is on youtube... Is an AU tougher than a Hi Luxe ? !!
