Although, I'd preffer to have cruise control.He got the leather Recaros and they make the Ts seats look and feel crap.I've seen worse dashes and I couldn't really notice the stalk you're all whining about. For a much worse looking interior you only have to look at the current WRX or VE dunnydores. The XR5's interior is also much nicer than the standard Focus.I don't particularly like the current standard Falcon consoles either, but the climate control upgrade is nice.Each to his own I suppose.

That makes it look heaps better.You can still see the stalk but if you see it front on like you are in the drivers seat you will see what I mean.

frosty Member 25 Member For: 21y 10m 28d Location: Melbourne Posted 28/08/07 09:48 AM Share Posted 28/08/07 09:48 AM It the Eclipse AVN6000 - read about it herehttp://www.eclipse-web.com.au/avn/The factory sound stalk no longer works..To tell you the truth I dont even notice the stalk anymore, if that's the only reason you dont want to get an XR5!! Anyhow they are a great car and much more fun to drive than my old XR6T and with a few mods go even better than an standard XR6T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tav Member 65 Member For: 20y 4m 20d Posted 28/08/07 10:24 AM Author Share Posted 28/08/07 10:24 AM How much is that unit? Do you think that stalk can be removed? I really hate it that much. It makes the whole car feel cheap and it is always right under your nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke for a 40+k car, then the salesman goes "mate, it's a sports car, It dosn't need it" So I should tell that to Plonky when he pull the mrs gets pulled up for doing 110 in a 100 zone :28_1_12: Drove the MPS today and geez it has some pull, just wish the XR5 had cruise and it would of been a ford in the driveway next week!!

They have the same motor as the Focus, but the interior is very nice (better than the Falcon), and they have cruise control.I'll be taking a serious look when it's time to upgrade.
