I have just picked up my new car. I was going to buy a Ford Fiesta but my son suggested I get the Falcon because its bigger and the "t" model (XR6T) which he said stands for traction control. He's a caring lad - said it was a safety device and he didn't want me running off the road. Anyway, I followed his advice and got the XR6T. I'm not used to an auto but fortunately he has told me how to drive it (push traction control button/foot on brake/foot on throttle/foot off brake). Don't know how impressed I am - it seems a bit slow off the mark and blows a lot of smoke before it gets going. I actually prefer my old pajero which takes off without that squeeling noise. Lucky it is so slow otherwise I wouldn't let him borrow it. Anyone know how fast the Fiesta is off the mark? Skull
