HSV GTS Used Car Review

The GTS badge materialised in 1992 and represented not only the HSV flagship model but was for a period Australia's fastest production car. Before th end of local Commodore production in 2017, the GTS was given a fitting send-off with a superb 'LSA' supercharged 6.2-litre V8.

Pros

Cons

  • Fantastic sound and performance of V8
  • Steering and general handling of E-Series II (2006 on)
  • Clever torque vectoring (2013 on)
  • Genuine track car and a modern Australian classic
  • V8 engines consume plenty of fuel
  • Size and weight ultimately affects agility
  • No longer in production
This is general information and should not be relied on as purchasing advice.

Servicing

SIMILAR MODELS TO HSV GTS

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: HSV GTS (2013 TO 2017)

The very last HSV GTSs had all moved to a supercharged engine, so a service record is absolutely crucial as these engines ran their oil hotter than ever before.

Listen for a ticking noise on start-up that could be dud hydraulic lifters. If that's the case they need to be replaced, so check the rocker bearings and the valve springs while you're in there.

The electric power-steering on these cars could suddenly stop working for no reason and then magically start to work again the next time the car was started.

The problem was traced to corrosion entering the wiring connectors and causing the assistance motor to stop randomly.

The GTS was also recalled to check the torque on the ball-joint bolts in the front end which may have been installed incorrectly at the factory.

A dealer can confirm whether this has been done.
