MUCHManual, 5 door. Is there an auto? Haven't cared to take any notice of it to be honest, so know very little about it. But it's got my attention now...Interior is very nice. A nice place to carry out the business.Poke? Plenty of it. Goes very nicely. I've driven a stock '02 WRX, and from that typical 'seat of pants' perception, it felt equal, if not quicker than the rex. Keep up with a stock 6T? I reckon... Yes... JustFirm ride, but far from uncomfortable.Handled VERY well. It comes specced with some sticky continental rubber, sure, but as we all know the chassis is highly praised by journos world wide.Torque steer? Yeah. Enough to be a problem or annoyance? NupWill it sell? I've got no doubt it will. With fuel prices going up up an away, it will be an attractive option. Will it take sales from Falcon? Yeah Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22653-what-do-you-think/page/8/#findComment-375522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah←Undoubtably yes but looking further into it it'll boost their sales overall as the sedans are as reported, struggling.The XR5T is just what the doctor ordered for Ford.
