Have pretty much narrowed it down to an fg f6 or maybe a 335 gt. Wife does not like the bonnet bulge or the styling of the gt so it is pretty much ruled out. We test drove a 2012 auto clubsport yesterday and it was to be honest a really nice car. Local ford dealer has 2010 fg f6 in and we drove that to. Wife did not think f6 was as smooth or as nice as the clubsport. Thing is we are trying to compare a 2 year old car to something 3 days old. Is there any difference between the drive of an fg f6 from when they came out to the latest one. Is it worth buying brand new over a runout model or a low kms example. Is there really that much difference in the ride of a brand new f6 compared to a clubsport. Car we are looking at has 16k on the clock and they are asking 57k which I think is a bit steep. I was thinking 52k would be a good price. Has leather, no sat nav, no big brakes or tow pack car is auto. And in pretty good nick. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I would buy the second hand F6.But it comes down to what you want not what we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After driving a v8 for a couple of years the Turbo made driving a different kind of fun.My Mrs drives it and its smooth as anything, unless you mash the loud pedal.
