"It may be 8 years old, but it still brings a smile to my face whenever I drive it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing.

General comments?

From day one I knew I loved this car. The power, handling and comfort are like nothing I've owned before.

The torque of the stroker V8 is awesome with bulk pulling power available throughout the rev range. The 6 speed manual just enhances the experience.

Keeping the driver in place are some very nice racing style seats that hold you very nicely while cornering.

When it comes time to stop the twin piston 330mm ABS assisted brakes pull the beast up with ease.

The only problem I had with the car was slam changing from 2nd to 3rd, but once I was used to the box that problem soon disappeared.

Want a GTS, but can't afford the current model? This is the car for you.

Great car, lots of torque.. although I'm getting used to the power now..!! the motors are near bulletproof, fuel economy is harsh about 16.5L/100km.

Car has travelled 140,000kms - slight diff clunk, but drives OK, seats are great, no major problems, its cost me $250 in 6 months and that was a service.

Handles excellent for a commodore, but can be a bit of a barge if pushed around corners too quick... needs to lose like 200kg.

I paid $17500 for mine and I can't think of any cars that offer the same performance, luxury, handling for the price. insurance is cheaper than you'd think, better than a WRX or an import of the same era.
