Such a lazy review. Basically go for a drive and parrot the press release. We desperately need proper automotive journalism in this country. I'm so sick of tired and regurgitated cliches like 'so much grunt', 'tire smoking power' etc. Give us you're OPINION! You've got the best job, for fucks sake make something of it.
Jack Friels That's true, hopefully Holden has something in the works soon.. I can't imagine them having no V8 cars when there's the Mustang, SRT and all the V8 SUVs still selling well..
All three are really cool great looking cars. But from a practicality stand point the Chrysler gives you the best of both worlds. And it just so happens its by far the fastest. 300 has my vote.
Another typical "I love Holden and ford" review. I've been reading/watching these reviews since the 70's, and nothing has changed. The 2 sedans are nice but, with today's SUV following morons, they're irrelevant. As for the mustang, 2 door coupes have a very short shelf life in Australia. Best thing to do, take a car you like for a decent test drive and find the one that puts a smile on your face.
Been in all 3 and by far the Chrysler is way more impressive, the power, luxury, features ,looks, sound and build quality just to name few, just are to hard to ignore.
Yup I loved the one I drove just felt a bit sluggy compared to my old man’s mustang around the corners, but I think that could be fixed with a nice suspension set up
What a stupid comparison. After all that still hasn't given a clear winner. Wait times don't determine which is the better vehicle. Getting tired of this "Drive.com.au" and your lacklustre reviews
+Fisherman I know right, they're total amateurs. There was no look at which had the best transmission and that's a big factor. I reckon CarAdvice do better reviews
+Drive.com.au I'd rather wait to be honest. All I was looking for was the outright better car. Wait times are neither here nor there to be honest. Cheers for that
I'd go for the Chrysler SRT8. It's got the looks inside and out and the performance. Don't like the ugly Mustang dash at all or the Commodore's rear end as it looks like a small car, and not a muscle car!
+Ricky Julian has the best transmission based on what facts??? your opinion? so because the reviewers dont pander to your bias of the 300 SRT its automatically a terrible review????
robbyjai My bias? Haha, no. It was clearly a bias by the reviewer, who conveniently didn't talk about any of transmissions. It's not my opinion on the transmission being better it's a fact, the Chrysler transmission is used in Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maserati, BMW and Range Rover. The 6 speeds in the Holden and Ford are crap in comparison
Ricky Julian doesnt mean shit. provide me some factual proof that their transmissions are better. if u had half a brain you would know each company implements different software to the transmissions and how it behaves. just because it uses the same hardware doesnt mean it uses the same software. the software is tuned by the automative manufacturer to shift in a specific way inline with the tune of the car. that difference alone will dictate whether one transmission is better than the other. you're pretty ignorant and narrow minded not to know that very basic fact
robbyjai You know nothing. These transmissions are high quality and no shit they are specifically tuned you idiot. Provide you with facts, it's obvious you fool, the top vehicle brands on the planet use it, can you say the same for the Ford and Holden?? How about you try to come up with a reason why it isn't better than the Ford or Holden, I guarantee you can't. You're just butthurt because the Chrysler is better
+Ricky Julian for your information the 300 SRT is an antiquated piece of shit from america with the worse build quality and reliability, looks like a piece of horse shit left to the rot in the sun and is just a fantastic plastic piece of turd. and unlike you, i wont try and claim this as fact. its MY opinion. its a piece of shit in my opinion. Same with the holden and the ford. they're all equal pieces of shit
Couldnt agree more mate. Thanks to bullshit journalism and the constant bashing of our world class Falcon and Commodore, we no longer have one of Australia's most proudest achievements, a world class automotive industry. What a crying shame. And shame on the PATHETIC so called 'journos' that bag and bash them out and compare them to imports that are 4-5 times the price. Absolutely pathetic.
As far as I understand, Falcons and Commodores were built tougher than American cars to deal with the Australian environment better. Taking a possibly lesser built car and putting it in the outback might leave you missing you local made cars in the long run.
I don't doubt that but in Australia, the heat gets extreme and most of the time a car has to travel longer distances over un kept roads so it would be harder on a road car. Many of our harsh places are where an ATV or SUV comes in.
I have a Chevy SS, (Holden Commdore) , I absolutely love this car and it is an LS engine, throw a cam and headers on it, your pushing 470 RWHP for under 3 grand. I love it. It is sad to see this car go.
The SRT was the fastest car and looks better than that Holden Piece of shit. Holden is last place in this comparison Go the HEMI, love the Mustang too. Hemi=ICON Mustang=ICON Commodore= POS and long Gone
I'm currently looking at buying a car in this category. Within 5 minutes the SRT was by far and away the best. Fell for that sound and everything about it in no time at all. I do like the mustang, but it can't match the SRT for sound, comfort or fun. Just accelerating to change lanes is an awesome experience as the 6.4 litre Hemi grumbles away.
+Nathan R I love this Chrysler 300 SRT very much, and since I'm from the United States, I think this car is way better than the Dodge Charger SRT. The 300 SRT offers more features than the charger does. sure wish this beautiful luxurious and Muscular Chrysler 300 SRT was here in the United States
I'm an American and stumbled across this (since the Holden is basically identical to the US version Chevy SS that I am interested in). I love this review - I didn't realize that Australians were our brother from another mother... power hungry muscle car loving psychopaths! The exhaust on the SS is sinister... love it
US and Australia similar ?Joking arent you? Whilst your forefathers kick out the British our clowns here still fly the Union Jack in the corner. Hardly similiar
The Chevy SS is the Australian built SS Commodore. Its been imported to America and Re-Badged as a Chev. & yeah We love our Muscle cars as much as you guys over there. All 3 of these cars are the Bomb!
There's only so much you can cover in a six minute review and you've done well mate. Interesting cars in these PC times. I love them all , they make me smile and I enjoy seeing them on the road. Good to see there will be performance cars for the masses still on the market. The sedan and coupe cars segments look to offer choice in the future , I wonder if anyone will fill the performance ute niche once Ford and Holden are gone
i think srt8s claim of 350kw is wrong my 2015 gts maloo had a mates srt8 barking beside me i couldnt shake the thing and ive dynod mine at 370kw at the wheels exhaust and tune upgrade aswell i know for a fact its standard.
Also the price, tell me which small family & husband would by a Mustang over a redline ,when he can take the kids out & go on trips with the family, & yet the Mustang you can do shit ?
That Holden grunt sound you can’t beat it honestly, I am biased and I admit it I am a Holden man myself I have the LS2 big Cam and other fun add ons, blows the Mustang away I have never been a fan of the Mustang even as a kid!!! Bring back Holden
I think this is hilarious, Aussies are all hot and bothered to buy a Mustang... we just bought a 2016 Chevrolet SS(2016 Holden Commodore SSV Redline) 2 weeks ago...and here in TX at least the SS is WILDLY popular.
wow so predictable, I have driven all 3 and the Srt destroys the other 2. The ford feels cheap, the holden sounds like a high reving lawn mower and the SRT is pure bliss. Handles brilliantly, goes like a bat out of hell, well built and has awesome user friendly tech. lets not forget it looks amazing.
Shows how gullible many of the folks are down under in believing GM (Holden) is an Australian car. A great marketing ploy by GM. Nevertheless numerous components and the final assemble was completed in Australia. But thanks to moronic policies of a previous LNP govt the cars are no longer produced here. Unfortunately, the political "leadership" amongst the LNP isnt graet.
the falcons/commodores too needed a brake upgrade to meet the standards set by the police, recieving a police only set up not available to the public. A brake upgrade would be hard to request due to the mustangs off shore production
Studat dont think the mistang are targeting family car market mate. Sport coupe sort of thing. Beside if u want a family car why buy ss or xr8? Buy a tarago.
Anthony Fungus only in its later years bud. Holden originally was australian. Sold itself to the yankys when the vt commodore ran out of 5litre engines.
the ford mustang competes with the chevy camaro and the dodge charger here in the states, i have good memories of the commodore whilst in Australia, i love riding these cars in the states "freely" away from cop action
Btw anyone watching this, this is actuslly just a review on the car not everything about it. They are not car journalists like mst watson but rather ones that drive the cars and just tell you how it drives not mention any specific specs on the car as safety or fuel consumption. But for me the commodore is the og muscle car and will be loved
+OceanBlue Because I hate automatic transmissions including automated manuals and especially ones with torque converters. I actually want something fun to drive, automatic is only for disabled people who cant drive manual and detract form the driving experience.
"detract form" your not disabled ,your dyslexic ,Don't put disabled into the conversation ,ill bet you there are plenty of disabled people with modified manuals that would put "normal" people to shame,so don't speak from ignorance .talk about what you know about
I feel sad about falcon and commodore leaving Australia, but lets moving forward. Australia definitely need muscle V10 cars to hit our wonderful roads. bring more American boys over, the Z28, Shelby 350 GT and the insane hellcats.
The Z28 is the powerful camaro, the ZL1 is the track camaro. BTW, can you guys import older Mustangs? Fox Bodies and SN95s are popular project cars here, and have a really big after market.
Srt buries them in build and quality. Interior, it just destroys them and they tested a core here not the real deal the dampening suspension. Srt all the way!
Well they don’t make this commodore anymore and haven’t for a while. And the Opel Commodore that replaced it basically killed the Commodore altogether as no one liked it. And as for Mustangs I see a lot more of them a round than the Chrysler or the Opel Commodore. So yeah the Mustangs actually doing the best as there’s no more Commodores and you don’t see nearly as many of the Chrysler on the road as Mustangs.
I honestly don't understand why people are so drawn to spending big $$$ on a supercharged v8 engine or the type who spend thousands modding their lancer evo or Subaru wrx sti ect. Unless you are an illegal street racer or you take your car to the track I would say at least once every 2 months you can get heaps of power out of an sv6 xr6 aurion sportive and other cars of the like. I have a 2016 sv6 and am well aware it would get flogged by heaps of other cars out there but realistically speaking I don't even have to put my foot down or get the engine above 3500 rpm before I'm over the speed limit.
if i had to choose between the 3 it would be the chrysler. everybody had got a commodore or a mustang and turns out the mustang isn’t really all that powerful anyway.
The most powerful V8 on the market today?, don't think so , why are you guys so biased with the SSV, it's a great car but HSV gen F R8 wins hands down and I find it very interesting that you didn't include a clubsport , rest my case
Not a fan of the SRT I drove one they really do suck at turning and city driving guzzles more fuel then the Holden and Mustang and the mustang sways side to side at high speeds it starts swaying about 180-210 kph between there but the Holden is perfect and the ford falcon the car cant be fairly compared it has not evolved since the FG its still the same with some differences
Only in a straight line. Mopar can build an engine just not a chassis. That is to bad because they do make great horsepower. Just gotta be able to plant it to be better
Found it a bit weird they only got 5.6 seconds 0-100 out of the mustang since it’s advertised at reaching those speeds in 4.8 and even with my old man’s manual managed to get 4.7 That nearly a whole entire second slower compared to what these boys got. Bad driving? Just thought that was worth mentioning. By the way the FM Mustang 6 speed autos are terrible definitely stick to a manual or get the FN Mustang with the 10 speed
I would like to get a Mustang but 2 things hold me back, 1 I'd feel like a sell out for going along with them killing the Australian car industry and then supporting the competition 2 when I look at those 0_100 times and they're no quicker than my Aussie made 10 year old G6E Turbo
Terrible vs... Starts off well and doesn't give us what a winner... I haven't drove the car. You have! So give me your opinion. I already knew i had to wait for the mustang!!! I wanted you to tell me now, which was the better... Oh dear !
@@wazza2222 I'm saying its stupid thing to bring up, These are all muscle cars, the only pony cars are the v6 models which are below 60 Thousand dollars. In truth, people only want to bring up pony cars to try sound special about this term. You just make yourself look like an idiot crying about what else a muscle car can be classified as.
Easy decision. I'd avoid anything Chrysler these days. The new Fiat owned Chrysler has no customer loyalty and has a history of not standing by its product. It's a Chrysler so it will have issues. Now do you want to gamble if They will fix it under warranty?
mustangs in aus are cool.. but its not a replacement for the falcon.. 2 doors :( and wow i get less road noise in my fg ute.. for 60k its pretty average inside and out. vf all the way. the Chrysler has big numbers on paper but thats the end of that. my 270kw beats its "350"kw everytime
+M Coop The 5.6 second 0-100 kmh time was measured by the magazine, the 0-60 mph time might be what is claimed by Ford. I agree that 3 kmh difference between 60 mph (97 kmh) and 100 kmh should only be a few tenths of a second and not 0.8 - 1.2 seconds difference.
Own a 2016 SSV Red line, and although it is a great car, the biggest disappointment is Holden NEVER fixed the rear seat vibration issue if you have the windows down. Not in any model, make or series.....if you have the windows down, you get a migraine. Very disappointing as they spent billions in design over 4 decades and couldn't fix it. Plus the sunroof has no wind buffer and is starting to move the roof lining when open. Very disappointing indeed.
At least americans can actually put a decent amount of power for the engines the cars have the mustang has around the same power as the commodore but its got 1.2 litres less than the commodore i think they should have used either the 325 or 340 hsv ls3 for the commodore but for some reason they didnt :/
I dont know about everyone, but to me, the new tail light of the commodore looks like something a ricer would do but i still love the front end look of it, the mustang looks good on the net, but in real life (saw one at fairfield) its looks rather ugly... the chrysler looks exactly the same as it did before which is quite ugly as well, but i do love the gauge! In the end, i would rather buy a hsv, an lexus is350 or rc350 or rc200t. P.S Yes i am a holden fan but i would rather buy the new ford xr6 over the mustang which looks really nice on the exterior. looks sort of like a jaguar!
Fingers crossed....if Holden are in talks with Chevrolet about a "Halo Car" coming our way, the Corvette is coming in 2018. ....so I will wait. Mustang would never be comparable to a Corvette....historically in the US it never has nor will it ever. Good bye Mustang.

Sean M 3 years later and here we are. Holden (really GM) has given up on Australia
All three are really cool great looking cars. But from a practicality stand point the Chrysler gives you the best of both worlds. And it just so happens its by far the fastest. 300 has my vote.
MrTrip3ace I agree with you, it’s like the american HSV club sport
It also weighs 300 kilos more than both cars

The Chrysler is a ugly big barge and the mustang is just a 2 seater toy the redline is better than both and the hsv is far superior 😂

What are the transmissions like? Auto sucks unless its dsg imo, am i wrong with these though?
Nothing sounds as brutal as the Hemi engine.
💯
I feel sad about falcon and commodore leaving Australia, but lets moving forward. Australia definitely need muscle V10 cars to hit our wonderful roads. bring more American boys over, the Z28, Shelby 350 GT and the insane hellcats.
+Feng Zhang (OZ LOL) I mean V8, LOL
The Z28 is the powerful camaro, the ZL1 is the track camaro. BTW, can you guys import older Mustangs? Fox Bodies and SN95s are popular project cars here, and have a really big after market.
Srt buries them in build and quality. Interior, it just destroys them and they tested a core here not the real deal the dampening suspension. Srt all the way!
Never heard build quality and Chrysler in the same sentence
Did anyone see the mustang number plate? Pony 20!
wow the chevy ss really is the holden with a chevy badge. looks exactly the same.
So is the Pontiac G8 and GTO
CorkyBurrito yeah mate. I love the way in the U.S. that owners re-badge their cars to the commodore lion! Respect!!
Does anyone know if we're getting the actual DRL headlights or the reflectors like the ones in U.K. on the mustang.
Chrysler destroys all
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep dreaming bro holden all da way
meh I rather a xr8 who cares about corners in a muscle car get a Sports car if you want fast cornering
It won’t sell as well as the Commodore or SRT due to being a 2 door.
Well they don’t make this commodore anymore and haven’t for a while. And the Opel Commodore that replaced it basically killed the Commodore altogether as no one liked it. And as for Mustangs I see a lot more of them a round than the Chrysler or the Opel Commodore. So yeah the Mustangs actually doing the best as there’s no more Commodores and you don’t see nearly as many of the Chrysler on the road as Mustangs.
I honestly don't understand why people are so drawn to spending big $$$ on a supercharged v8 engine or the type who spend thousands modding their lancer evo or Subaru wrx sti ect. Unless you are an illegal street racer or you take your car to the track I would say at least once every 2 months you can get heaps of power out of an sv6 xr6 aurion sportive and other cars of the like. I have a 2016 sv6 and am well aware it would get flogged by heaps of other cars out there but realistically speaking I don't even have to put my foot down or get the engine above 3500 rpm before I'm over the speed limit.
I do things out of spite bro that's so cool
Weight matters too. Maybe include it next time.
Srt best
The mustang had IRS back in 2003 with the cobra.
if i had to choose between the 3 it would be the chrysler. everybody had got a commodore or a mustang and turns out the mustang isn’t really all that powerful anyway.
The most powerful V8 on the market today?, don't think so , why are you guys so biased with the SSV, it's a great car but HSV gen F R8 wins hands down and I find it very interesting that you didn't include a clubsport , rest my case
ill take the mustang
Not a fan of the SRT I drove one they really do suck at turning and city driving guzzles more fuel then the Holden and Mustang and the mustang sways side to side at high speeds it starts swaying about 180-210 kph between there but the Holden is perfect and the ford falcon the car cant be fairly compared it has not evolved since the FG its still the same with some differences
Srt8 shits over lsa clubsport aswell
It really doesn't.
"Hang it out and have a play with it & It really enjoys it" HAHAH
And the XR8 is where ??? :/
At the scrap yard
holden will always be more iconic than the others in this country at least
The chrysler is the only one that gets my respect. Its actually faster than a stock xr6turbo, the other 2 would get pumped by one
Only in a straight line. Mopar can build an engine just not a chassis. That is to bad because they do make great horsepower. Just gotta be able to plant it to be better
Mustang could've been a cheaper pony car replaces a Falcon sedan when it comes with base V6 for young drivers and family motorists.
Cars on australia are really expensive
52k ssv aud to USd $39000
still lot more cheaper than in hefty taxes Àsian counTries mate, V8 5Liter Holden would cost You more than $150,000 in SG, HK, Malaysia, Indonesia.
18% to 54% tax on cars in Australia aswell
Where was this filmed?
just search any forest or mountain area. Also you wouldnt want to go their you will feel like vomiting going around on those roads.
Challenger scat pack and BMW m4
Nrvous 30- yes, yes, and YES
Mustang
Found it a bit weird they only got 5.6 seconds 0-100 out of the mustang since it’s advertised at reaching those speeds in 4.8 and even with my old man’s manual managed to get 4.7 That nearly a whole entire second slower compared to what these boys got.
Bad driving? Just thought that was worth mentioning.
By the way the FM Mustang 6 speed autos are terrible definitely stick to a manual or get the FN Mustang with the 10 speed
I would like to get a Mustang but 2 things hold me back, 1 I'd feel like a sell out for going along with them killing the Australian car industry and then supporting the competition
2 when I look at those 0_100 times and they're no quicker than my Aussie made 10 year old G6E Turbo
The political parties killed the auto industry with the Lima declaration.
Try HSV GTSR VS FORD MUSTANG
wow the cabin is very loud on the Mustang compared to the others
And the best mustangs are the 2000 svt cobra R and the 03/04 terminator cobra
A battle between Ford, GM and Chrysler. So the Australian assembled American car takes the crown.
Terrible vs... Starts off well and doesn't give us what a winner... I haven't drove the car. You have! So give me your opinion. I already knew i had to wait for the mustang!!! I wanted you to tell me now, which was the better... Oh dear !
How much did you guys get paid from holden?
Lmao
Bias much ??????
Stang doesn't count missing a set of doors!!!
You got it
Lazy lightweight review by a boy too young to know the difference between a pony car and a muscle car.
what the hell are you on about? Those are all Muscle cars.
@@StreetDrilla if you don’t know the difference, you are a part of the problem.
@@wazza2222 I'm saying its stupid thing to bring up, These are all muscle cars, the only pony cars are the v6 models which are below 60 Thousand dollars. In truth, people only want to bring up pony cars to try sound special about this term. You just make yourself look like an idiot crying about what else a muscle car can be classified as.
@@StreetDrilla a V6 pony car huh? I think that says it all. Millennial
@@wazza2222 are you saying v6 cars cant be pony cars? You cant respond properly at all.
Yeah nah, I'll take the FGX XR8 manual everyday
comaring a 2 door mustang to a 4 door falcon incomparable and such a shame they wont exist
Chevy is killing off the Holden brand?
Easy decision. I'd avoid anything Chrysler these days. The new Fiat owned Chrysler has no customer loyalty and has a history of not standing by its product. It's a Chrysler so it will have issues. Now do you want to gamble if They will fix it under warranty?
mustangs in aus are cool.. but its not a replacement for the falcon.. 2 doors :(
and wow i get less road noise in my fg ute.. for 60k its pretty average inside and out.
vf all the way.
the Chrysler has big numbers on paper but thats the end of that. my 270kw beats its "350"kw everytime
We want a track battle
God the mustang sounds good!! But the SSV though is just so awesome sounding!! Beats the mustang in my opinion
5.6 second 0-100km? Over here it's 4.4 - 4.8. What's the difference?
+M Coop Unless...I'm getting my math wrong, which is possible. Damn metric system haha.
60 mph , will take a few tenths off the time
60 mph is 97 km
Ben Chesterman
yeah but I don't see a 3 km difference adding an entire second or more.
+M Coop The 5.6 second 0-100 kmh time was measured by the magazine, the 0-60 mph time might be what is claimed by Ford. I agree that 3 kmh difference between 60 mph (97 kmh) and 100 kmh should only be a few tenths of a second and not 0.8 - 1.2 seconds difference.
Own a 2016 SSV Red line, and although it is a great car, the biggest disappointment is Holden NEVER fixed the rear seat vibration issue if you have the windows down. Not in any model, make or series.....if you have the windows down, you get a migraine.
Very disappointing as they spent billions in design over 4 decades and couldn't fix it.
Plus the sunroof has no wind buffer and is starting to move the roof lining when open.
Very disappointing indeed.
That is not just on this car. Most of the ones I own do this. Roll a front one down and this stops it
LS3?
From what I have gathered the Mustang has been a grey market import over there for years...they just cost a fortune.
At least americans can actually put a decent amount of power for the engines the cars have the mustang has around the same power as the commodore but its got 1.2 litres less than the commodore i think they should have used either the 325 or 340 hsv ls3 for the commodore but for some reason they didnt :/
couldn't wait for the falcon sprint ;)
Mustang all day everyday, still in production highly tuneable great looking car and its a Ford
Crappy Mustang, crappy ass Chrysler and slightly less crappy Holden
Holden made in Australia, but has American engine.
Not made in Australia, it is assembled in Australia and come on they are an Opel for shit sake rebadged with engine and suspension changes
I dont know about everyone, but to me, the new tail light of the commodore looks like something a ricer would do but i still love the front end look of it, the mustang looks good on the net, but in real life (saw one at fairfield) its looks rather ugly... the chrysler looks exactly the same as it did before which is quite ugly as well, but i do love the gauge! In the end, i would rather buy a hsv, an lexus is350 or rc350 or rc200t. P.S Yes i am a holden fan but i would rather buy the new ford xr6 over the mustang which looks really nice on the exterior. looks sort of like a jaguar!
Fingers crossed....if Holden are in talks with Chevrolet about a "Halo Car" coming our way, the Corvette is coming in 2018. ....so I will wait. Mustang would never be comparable to a Corvette....historically in the US it never has nor will it ever. Good bye Mustang.
