OVERVIEW
Sometime ago, Australia decided its love-affair with large family sedans was over.
Instead, in numbers like no other country on earth, buyers tossed over the family sedan for SUVs; big ones at first, but now, increasingly, mid-sized and compact ones.
And why not? Who needs a big sedan that's difficult to park and has an expensive thirst?
On those latter two points - and a whole lot more besides - Holden would like you to think again.
For inexpensive motoring, the VF Commodore Evoke LPG can match wits with a small car. And the VF range comes with 'park assist' (it does the parking for you), so you can also scratch "difficult to park" off the list.
And then add that it's roomy, quiet and comfortable on road, and drives especially well. Here's our report after a week with the 2013 Holden VF Commodore Evoke LPG.
INTERIOR | RATING: 3.5/5
Quality: The VF Commodore is a big step up from the VE. The interior feels fresh and modern, power window switches have moved from the centre console to the doors, and, miracle of miracles, you can finally pop the boot without having to open the glovebox first.
The controls and switchgear are are easy to use on the move, well laid-out and with a soft-touch quality feel.
