Yeah, I think some of these car mag writers must have arms as short as Mini Me's, got my manual XRT today and although still as stiff as a viagra junky in a brothel, finding it ok, still a bit low on the revs for takeoff, but hey a XR6 auto for 4 years and then the missus's lazer (you need arms like an orang utans to get to 1st :lol: ) believe me this bird is sweet :bookworm::bookworm:

A lot of these reports would also be written by jurno's who drive a lot of performance cars that outprice the xr6t by double. I am sure that there is a direct comparison drawn to these other much more expensive cars in the performance bracket in regards to gear shift quality. Us general public would probably not notice a poor shift quality as much, if these reports hadnt been written.

Definitely a crock IMO. I was a one eyed Expensive Daewoo supporter for years, untill I finally got the cash to buy a new car. One of the major reasons I chose the AU over the VU was the six speeds bad shift. The couple that I drove were just shockers.

Thanks for the replys guy's:)

my friend and I were at penrith ford today (he is going to buy an xr6 ute (not turbo). and whilst checking the turbo over I did notice 1 thing that I really didnt like about the car, the windows were down and I pressed the metal skin at the top of the door (where the window dissapeers) and the metal pushed in very easily, I done it to all doors for the same result, then went to my mates vt commo and it was very solid and strong.

I dont know if I should worry about it too much, but it is something ill be thinking about.

Cheers

Jim

Like a human body soft on the outside to protect the skeleton underneath.

In other word's Crumple Zone.

Rather strange reply for a rather strange dilemma. :lol: ;)
