Poor little jealous boy-racers. But then if he's talking about a G6E then yes they are a bit 'boaty', different suspension to the G6ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always drive 10k`s below the speed limit to allow fellow road users the opportunity to see my car but more so so they can check out my bowls hat from the back window, I get lots of of admiration from other drivers, they often honk their horns at me and shake their arms out the car window at me, being polite naturally I wave back, I can never quite hear what they are saying, I think my hearing aid is playing up a bit.

I prefer the extra support from the XR seats (and I have had GT-P seats for ages anyway). As for options, I think the fully electric driver's seat, ec rear view mirror and dipping passenger mirror on reverse are about the only differences.Both great cars, both aimed at different target markets. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very keen to see how they turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to recapture my youth and not give into the "sales director" look ! so voted to buy a car for the under 50's ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity I didn't get the luxury pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the g6 has polished alloy looking ones. mine are fake CF but interior looks mint with the steering wheel and all leather buckets ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
