(I'm a Expensive Daewoo boy too, so says a lot about the FG range)Ended up with a G6ET after taking one for a spin and couldn't get over the get up and boogie pretty much from idle. (Test drove during rain so wasn't game enough to give it a full squirt, but even at 60% throttle it put a massive grin on my face) I've also driven an LS2 powered clubby, doesn't come close to the turbo.I ended up buying the car I test drove as it only had 45000k's. Its a late '08 so I assume one of the 1st off the show room floor. The guy had also only just swapped it for a brand new Jeep the previous day and hadn't even been detailed or road worthied yet.It's fully optioned with everything except the 19" wheels & tow bar (satnav, dvd player, adjustable peddles, boot waterproof insert, cargo loading protector)After reading around and looking at photos on the forum I have noticed a couple of things about this G6ET vs others..1 - It's got goldish paint (labelled 'beige' in service book, no where near as dark as 'havana') and I have not seen another one with this colour... has anyone else seen or heard of one.. or was this the least most popular colour? It also has the cashmere interior so from what I can see a very rare colour combination. Probably not everyones preference, but I think it looks great.2 - On the steering column below the key barrel, I have a red 'push' style button slightly smaller than a 5c piece. I've traced the wire (pos and a neg only) and it runs down the side of the centre console and disappears under the storage bin. It's driving me crazy as I can't find what it does (I've sat in the car for 30 mins pressing it in all sorts of different patterns with the car on/off, dvd players on/off.. in P, D & R. Just wonder if anyone also has this button before I start going pulling the centre console and carpets up to trace this wire?Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great choice your G6ET (jet) looks very nice. I would ask the previous owner of this red button, as I wouldn't mind pictures of what it looks like.
