2003 HSV GTS Coupe Gen III review from Australia and New Zealand

Nothing have Gone Wrong so far.

Car runs like a dream!

Dealer service was very helpful at buying the car.

Top Banana!!You know how you first try something new and it makes you smile? But eventually it just becomes the norm and, well, where's the fun then?

Well even now, nearly one year after rolling out of the showroom car park, I put my foot down on my way to work and it STILL makes me smile every time!! There's no better cure for Monday morning blues!

Either a quick blast down the dual carriage way, or a twist turny country lane - there aren't many out there that can keep up - not for the same money anyway! In fact, some cars, costing nearly twice as much, can often be seen getting smaller and smaller in the rear view mirror! This thing is an animal, and as I read on an HSV website, it never stops, it simply rests until next time...!

Yes, the ride can be a bit harsh, thanks to the sports suspension and the low profile tires, and yes it does guzzle fuel when you really open it's throat... But then, this is what really makes this car! If it wasn't like this, it would just be another Falcon, or a Camry, or a... <yawn!> excuse me I was falling asleep for a moment there!!

Oh, and here's one for your Christmas cracker. What reaches 140mph and still wants more!? (But I didn't dare...!)

But you can still pack all your friends in the back and all their luggage in the boot! Practical too!
