Vauxhall Monaro review covering 2004 - 2006

Monday 28 November 2005

There are some who feel that performance cars today have become a little fey. They long for the days when a fast car had something about it, a hairy-chested vitality that let you know you were in for a wild ride. Some manufacturers have kept that spirit alive and made a tidy sideline in offering big-hearted performance cars. All too often, however, they’re not really the sort of machines that can be recommended as a used purchase. Here’s one that is. Vauxhall’s Monaro wears its heart on its sleeve. It’s a beefy coupe powered by a huge V8 engine with a proper rear wheel drive chassis and huge performance. You sit on the correct side and it won’t throw a hissy fit if asked to start on a cold morning.
