Why Im Scared On Buying An Xr6 T

[carbonford]

talk about the BMW M cars, I used to have an e36 M3 with SMG gearbox, or should I say sh!tbox too? it just died for no reason for 4 times through out my 2.5 years of ownership... and I also heard that many problems still with the SMGII on the m3... and also m3 had got many engine problems (blew engines) back then when they were first released...

so I guess those XRs are just a few small individual cases just like those from BMW...

cheers and happy turboing!

Also Ive read the threads with peoples cars making a fluttering sound in the manuals.... Do the autos make this fluttering sound as well??

But mainly concerned with reading about loose turbo and manifold bolts, dodgy discs as well.. Ive had my rex for over 10 years without any dramas and dont wanna be caught out buying a headache that ends up like an episode from the money pit..

It's pretty simple really, if your so worried about it don't buy one.

10 years trouble free in a rex......man, your not driving it hard enough!

[Guest]

there are plenty of good ones and cheap I'm having trouble choosing between them all!!!

get one you know you want it!

then tell me which one so it makes my choice easier!!!!

be quick as I'm about to fly to sydney to check one out in the morning!

Surely you don't need to go to Sydney to find a good XR6T.

I have an 03 XR6T and an 03 Subaru Forester. I love Ts size, engineering and performance and I admire and respect the Subarus build quality.

No issues with my T but think of it this way. A Liberty GT is a 2 litre turbo much smaller than an XR6t and costs $55k. If an XR6T was built as well as a Subaru (or Subaru ever decided to build a full size competitor) it would cost over $80k.

You get what you pay for and in the size / performance /practicality /value equation, nothing comes close to Aussie Muscle cars with the XR6t being the best of that breed. Just my humble opinion - (go buy a T!)

Im gonna call your bluff.

Youre marginally interested in an XR6T but I think your main motivation in your post is to show off those 2 pics, you obviously went to the trouble of finding them and saving them and making this post. I think youre posting here out of jealousy for the XR6T's power. But the main motivation in your post is to bring down the mighty 'T' (as we call it).

I am totally happy with my XR6T. You like Subes, fine, stick with em old chap and go back to ya Suby forums where u will enjoy yourself.

see ya in your old unremarkable WRX!

Err I dont know what drugs u r on as I dont really see the point of l calling someones bluff.

I dont know what you mean by jealousy of an xr6 t as im nearly 40 and no time for crap like that. Im also not biased with my cars or any cars as I dont care what type of car someone drives as long as they have done all the right things and taken care of them.

The only XR6t I have driven was AVO's in which they gave me for a day and I was totally impressed but it wasnt stock.

Im looking at an xr6t as my settle down car and so I can also throw my golf clubs in the back with a bigger boot and just a newer car as well.

In regards to power, power isnt always everything, as in my opinion the xr6 is a pig when it comes to weight but does have a nice feel when driving for a heavy car.

Off the mark the xr would kill my rex, where as the rex would eat an xr around any twisty roads but Im over that caper a long time ago and actually like to drive a car around corners and nice country roads.

As for Fords I have already owned 5 fords so not sure what u mean by jealous of a Ford.

Sorry to all others re the pics if it offends everyone, so much as I didnt know it has been put up a million times as there was a valid point with the LS1 issue I forgot about. But If im going to do this I will be going over every aspect of what I can to find out about these cars and do my home work properly. From what I can see with a little tweaking and what not will prob add up to about 6-9k
