I am lookig for cheap fuel, if you know where I can get it for under $1 let me know!

Posted 12/08/05 11:48 PM Share Posted 12/08/05 11:48 PM I don't understand how you could be looking at a maxima....The T would have to be about twice as comfortable, with more safety features, and allot more fun/practical.I don't see how that can be your 2 choices...If you said a liberty or something, that would be understandable, but a maxima?No this isn't just my personal opinion either, most will tell you that a maxima will put you to sleep faster than anesthetic...

Turbofalke Member 658 Member For: 20y 5m 10d Location: Mexico Posted 13/08/05 02:21 AM Share Posted 13/08/05 02:21 AM I think if you test drive the XR you'll end up with one. Just like I did. So you want a black one (sure you havn't already had a T and written if off!) ha ha.I dont much like the styling of the Maxuma, they look a bit fat and floaty for my money. If its a 2nd hand T your after, try to catch one with options like the Lux pac or premium sound at least (that's for the colour ICC) Also check for mods which have been done and then taken off.Good luck.

turbomuz Member 209 Member For: 19y 11m 11d Location: Canberra Posted 14/08/05 10:56 PM Share Posted 14/08/05 10:56 PM You have probably come to the wrong forum to get an objective opinion on buying another car vs an XR6T.If you want to know any problems owners have had with their T's then go through the hundreds of posts and you will read plenty. Having said that, all cars / owner experiences are different. Some people have recurring problems and some (including myself - touch wood) are trouble free. I don't think the T is any more / less reliable than the majority of cars on the road today.I personally like the Maxima. It goes well for a big front-driver and in black looks pretty classy. Lower it a little and throw on some 18"s and it would look real sharp, although I'm not a big fan of the dash layout.Muz Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19386-heya-guys-need-to-know-sumptin/#findComment-282395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
