Just ran it over the weighbridge about 10 mins ago and with a full tank of fuel, filled up this morning, and no driver the car tipped the scales at 1780kgs. Thought this might come in handy for others.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 27/07/08 08:02 AM Share Posted 27/07/08 08:02 AM I had to take mine over the weighbridge to clarify the vehicle weight for rego. 1780kg with half a tank of fuel.Did you know- not anywhere on the car or in the owners manual or warranty book is the weight of the car.Quite odd I thought.I rang my dealer and they could only quote me a weight from a brochure and it was only for the XT poverty pack.What's up with that???

The povo XT has zero options so it would be the falcons min weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
