timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 1m 5d Gender: Male Posted 27/05/12 01:49 AM Share Posted 27/05/12 01:49 AM Generally the reviewer seems impressed but as usual the old issues of traction and fuel economy re surface.A mate of mine just had his new F6 delivered in silver,quite nice.The blue one in the review also looks good.Eventhough my mate said the colour red is not available with the MKII F6 I'm sure that I spotted a red F6 earlier in the year.The darken rims looked awesome on that colour http://www.caradvice.com.au/173710/fpv-f6-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has bought an F6 and carefully studied fuel use to minimise their impact on the environment, lol. As for traction, that's cause Ford keeps using sh*t tyres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgxod Member 214 Member For: 13y 8m 21d Posted 27/05/12 10:37 AM Share Posted 27/05/12 10:37 AM Is it me or dose ford really lack in there effort between mk and standard falcon and for cars. Like let's be honest hear if your going to buy there so called fpv car then make it stand out from the rest. Why is sat nav leather seats premium brakes a extra should be a one build and that's it. I really love my ford but just seems like Expensive Daewoo put more of a effort in there cars then ford. Like at least raise the bar a little or even throw in a extra 10 kw wats. To me the car looks the same as the mrk1 big deal it's got a new screen if Expensive Daewoo didn't come out with there new screen and extras I highly doubt ford would have done it as well. Just my two cents anyway. Don't even get me started on the ute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/05/12 10:48 AM Share Posted 27/05/12 10:48 AM Couldn't agree more.Having said that though I'm glad the people that were responsible for the Mk2 external updates weren't involved with the F6. It looks tuff as nails and would hate to see it ruined.Good to see they finally matched the wheel colour with the plastic in the engine bay, been hanging out for that for a while..

I thought F series have launch control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the review is referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
