aniken I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it Donating Members 4,316 Member For: 22y 5m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, south west Posted 13/04/03 11:02 PM Share Posted 13/04/03 11:02 PM Just passed 2,600kms on the weekend and the grin on my face is still as big as the day I picked the car up :D Thumbs up all around, from the people that speed up to have a look, to the select few friends that I have permitted to have a (short) drive No major problems to speak of, although the number of idiots that feel the need to tailgate me in their ricer mobiles is getting a bit annoying :cussing: As others have said, get rid of the Expensive Daewoo and get yourself a Turbo man! As a previous Expensive Daewoo driver and now Turbo owner, I can confidently say that it will take something pretty special for me to go back.

PURSUTE Member 48 Member For: 22y 7m 12d Posted 14/04/03 02:09 AM Share Posted 14/04/03 02:09 AM I am extremely happy with mine. Only 3k on the clock so far, it's in for the 3k checkover today. There are a couple of little things getting looked at, but they are all minor, and very fixable.I came from an AU2 XR6 ute, and the new ute is a quantum leap from the old one. I cannot believe how much better they could make a vehicle that has essentially the same chassie(sp?) as the last model.Before I ordered it, I drove just about every ute available on the new car market. Although I didn't get a drive in a VY ute, the BA XR6t far outstripped the VU SS, particularly the road dynamics. Interesting when you consider that I was comparing a leaf spring solid axle to a semi-trailing independent rear suspension.I have no great allegience to any car maker, and would have gone a Holden, or whatever, in the blink of an eye if I thought it was a better car for me. I just think Ford hit the nail on the head this time.

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 2m 13d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 14/04/03 03:00 AM Share Posted 14/04/03 03:00 AM As I have never owned a Oil Burner/Piston Slapper :D I can't compare......but this is by far the best car I have ever owned. Quick, sticks to the road like $hit to a blanket, finish is great (and I am fussy!). No major problems except the petrol gauge goes to the left too fast :D and a whistle from the top of the windscreen Previous rides Toyota Supra, EA 'S', EL XR6.GET THE TURBO!!!!!!

Guest StaggerLee Guests Posted 14/04/03 07:56 AM Share Posted 14/04/03 07:56 AM My XR6 T has done about 1000 k's, so it's a bit early to report back with any problems because, there are none. I've got a mate with a V8 VT Berlina, and it's been riddled with problems from the day he's had it. I've driven his car a few times and the XR6 T walks all over it! After owning a V8 Commodore, you won't know what hit you!
