The plastic trim near the Power Source on both sides was sharpish. Sharp enough to maybe cut.Steering wheel looked better than in the pictures.Seats looked goodSeatbelt no longer rubs on the surrounding plastic at the mount point like in BA/BFs.Dash looks well fitted with no poorly flushed bits around the demist vents like in my BA.The usefulness of the visors is still questionable, I.e put them down and your view is virtually gone (Im 6'2")I liked the leather boot at the base of the handbrakeI still managed to bump my head a little when turning to my right to look at stuff.Overall Im impressed and wana hop in an XR asap!

Unquestionably a backward step over the BA-F. not a dealbreaker for me though. Edited 07/05/08 03:56 AM by TurboDewd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you grab the handle it unlocks the door to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great from around 60kph, you just bury your foot into the carpet and the car launches forward - makes your passengers go Edited 07/05/08 04:34 AM by senna_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever had a problem with metal CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
