GSR Member 31 Member For: 13y 8m 1d Gender: Male Posted 07/02/13 03:09 AM Share Posted 07/02/13 03:09 AM (edited) If so, would you be able to break down the major pros and cons of each for me? As far as I'm aware it's a lot cheaper to get power out of the XR6T's but the SS handles better?Cheers Edited 07/02/13 03:10 AM by GSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bf ute didnt handle very well either though. The both very much same same mid range (price) vehicle but if I had my choice the xr6 is going to bring more comfort and much more fun to play with.

GSR Member 31 Member For: 13y 8m 1d Gender: Male Posted 07/02/13 03:25 AM Author Share Posted 07/02/13 03:25 AM I'm torn between the two and have around 35k to spend. So far the Xr6T seems to be pulling ahead but I can't seem to find any I like, where as I have found a VE Bogan special that looks great. I feel like I'll regret not getting the turbo though.

However you guys have pretty much sold me on getting an xr6t, even though I think the VE Bogan special is a nicer looking car. I'd much rather have a car that looks and performs well.

I liked the previous interior to the current one better as well (dont like the air vents on the current model) even over the FG.Novating over 3 years I havent worried about wasting money on mods on either other than lowering so I cant enter that argument.

I'd give it to the SS (un-modded of course).. SS drove far better with a decent load in the back..Fun factor XR6T sh*ts all over the SS though..

johno Donating Members 773 Member For: 14y 3m 2d Gender: Male Location: Mt Gambier, SA Posted 07/02/13 08:06 AM Share Posted 07/02/13 08:06 AM Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. I am amazed by people who need someone to tell them what to buy.I realize you asked for comparisons, but have you driven either? Late model camira ute is far quieter than a Falcon ute. Falcons arenoisy in the cab(road noise).Turbo will sh*t over the Commy V8 in the go department, and a lot cheaper to mod. As stated, the Expensive Daewoo auto is a puss box, butif you are looking at manual, wont matter.I dont like the Commy ute in the vision area, too much of a blind spot looking out the sides compared with the Falcon.You have to ask yourself honestly what you want out of either, and make up your own mind.
