It handles superbly with NO body roll and steers much better than the BF.The interior is very nice and well set out and very comfortable. Not sure about the cream leather seats though?It didn’t have adjustable pedals but I believe it’s an option and a must have after having it on the last two Fords.Sits nice on the 19” optioned wheels but I think the front looks a bit tinny!! Not sure about the rear end either???Power wise it seemed slow but smooth (maybe due to my F6 Tornado having 370rwks ahahhahah)Would I buy one? Well it will be hard to part with Build 0001 BF Typhoon but the G6E is impressive so I will need to think hard before I commit.I think these will be a BIG seller for Ford as it has Power, Handles, and it’s a Class vehicle…well done Ford.

I think you'd get everything you like from the G6E plus the more powerful turbo charged engine.

Interesting drive and it does drive very very nice. No body roll left to right but heaps from front to rear..amazing really.When you plant your foot the front lift and the back sinks as you can imagine but this is huge!!! I would like to see it from the outside as it’s very noticeable from the driving position.On good Hotmix it won’t spin at all just lifts the front and goes and goes and goes.I might have trouble handing this back. When does yours arrive? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47844-g6e-loan-car/#findComment-709092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
