F6Rdodg'nroos Member 164 Member For: 17y 27d Location: NSW-The Taxed State Posted 09/03/08 10:54 AM Share Posted 09/03/08 10:54 AM Two completely different cars - depend's on what your after. Either way though I wouldn't buy the F6XIf its an SUV, I'd get the Territory T and if you want more grunt, soup it up a bit - you'll save a packet, and still get decent resale. Buying an F6X at $85++K, you'll lose $25k the day you drive it out,expect not much better resale than a Territory T as FPV are going to struggle to sell them themselves.But If you want a sedan:The R-Spec - better value, better performance, better resale on what you can get them for now, better handling, best sports sedan around.But if you just want wagon with grunt, hold out for the (dare I say it, don't me) VE sports wagon - That's the car FORD/FPV should've built instead of the F6X.

bounty Banned 9 Member For: 16y 10m 20d Posted 10/03/08 02:54 AM Author Share Posted 10/03/08 02:54 AM I used to have a 4wd as well as the typhoon and I seemed to drive it more.I will drive the R-Spec and the F6X this week.I read whilst they were testing the F6X against the Typhoon, the latter was only 2 seconds faster around the test track. They said if it was raining the 2 seconds would have gone the other way. 2 seconds slower round a track than a typhoon?? Must be a little steadier on its feet than a Terri T,...Thansk for your feedback though, I share the same thoughts as most replies however I will remain with mind open at this stage....

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

You could get more performance, better looks, better handling and braking and still have it look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
