BAman Member 133 Member For: 18y 1m 17d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 12/03/11 10:15 AM Share Posted 12/03/11 10:15 AM I decided to finally trade in my bf xr6t with round 250rwkw for an 07 xr5t with leather all I can say is I have never had so much fun driving b4 might not be as quick as the xr6t but I cant take the smile off my face when im driving the xr5t awesome car so much more of a drivers car and u can use the power unlike the xr6 half the time having that much power was pointless.... just wondering if any 1 knows of any good places in melb to get a flash tuner for the xr5?(I like the power but a little more would be nice) everytime I google hi po parts for em UK sites always come upI exactly understand your position. I too ordered a XR5 and I cant wait for the next 2 weeks to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember fwd is always very limited, so sometimes "less is more" in terms of the overall package and stock power can still be the faster/better car in real terms.......
