When I arrived here being a petrol head I noticed this rivalry between Fords and Holdens. So I thought I would try out these wheels and see for myself which I would prefer. All I can say is that in a few wks, less I hope, I will be getting a BF Falcon Turbo. Hell what a motor, I am still smiling.Anyway just wanted to say hi and hope if I have any ques you guys can help me out.Cheers and keep it on the black stuff...................muncher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rival Ford vs Expensive Daewoo cars did you check out? Getting the manual or auto? Color, options etc? What did you drive before looking at the T? Good to hear you've been converted, I think most have wound up in a T coz it's a bloody good car! Cheers \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muncher Member 42 Member For: 18y 7m 25d Location: Bay of Plenty, NZ Posted 11/03/06 11:08 PM Author Share Posted 11/03/06 11:08 PM Hi and thanks for the replies.Before going for the Falcon I test drove some of the competition. The first was a Chrysler 300c, V6 and V8. I liked the looks but not the handling, the V6 was like a slug compared to the Falcon. I then tried a V8 Monaro, I have a long list of dislikes for this one, won't bore you with them. Then I had a go in a SS commadore V8. It had power but only if you keep up the revs, wasn't too keen on the interior/instrumentation set up. Then finally I tried the Falcon and you know the rest. As for the colour they do one called Shockwave (Metallic Blueish) Think I may go for that.As for trans, tried and liked the 6 speed tiptronic version, leather, blue backlit dials, dual climate etc.Jack mate I live in the Bay of Plenty, Katikati.Thanks again guys................muncher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
