Ok, it wasn't run in yet, but it was gutless and it handled like a dog! However, it has this luxury feel to it. It's a whole class above any Australian car I've ever seen. However, it's FWD, gutless and expensive if you get a higher spec model. I'd love to get a second hand one in 2 yrs or so though!impression no. 3 - BA XR8well, not really an impression but I sighting. on the road to bacchus marsh, I spoted a white BA with XR headlights and primed XR8/GT bonnet. the car looked real shoddy, with scratches, crappy fitting pannels and bonnet and rear bumper which weren't painted. it was probably a test XR8 but it still felt good seeing one on the road.

Guest DZ. Guests Posted 11/11/02 01:45 AM Share Posted 11/11/02 01:45 AM Don't the Astra, Focus, and the Golf compete head to head in Europe? Any car that is gutless and handles like a dog is automatically not an awesome car in my book Having driven luxury spec suspensions and sport spec suspensions I'll take a better handling car over luxury feel any day.
