GSR Member 31 Member For: 13y 6m 2d Gender: Male Posted 07/02/13 08:11 AM Author Share Posted 07/02/13 08:11 AM It's not that I need to be told, just wanted some information from people who have in depth experienced both so I can make a decision. I'm going to test drive both this weekend just to be sure, but there's only so much you can learn from a short drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get a decent drive if possible.IMHO the Late model camira is more appealing inside than the Falcon, but I am not a huge fan of the Commy ute because of the blind spots.Best of luck whichever way you go.

I personally would go a Bogan special in the ute but if sedan an xr6t hence why I am a part of this forum :sungum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the Expensive Daewoo forums would give ford a plug at all? I prefer the Fg interior and look (like mk1 better than mk2). Had the same decision to make with the sedan as I really liked the SS originally. Economy, rego, auto and price are what pointed 'me' to the xr6t.

The 6lt feels like it is about to get up and boogey but never really does.Drive one back to back with an fg turbo on the same day and you will make your mind up I did 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixsa Member 20 Member For: 11y 10m 6d Posted 07/02/13 11:15 AM Share Posted 07/02/13 11:15 AM I've driven both and I ended up with a FG XR6T ute. My personal opinion is the FG looks better, drives better, handles better, goes better. I ended up buying luxury pack in mine which I think is much better then the VE interior. Only thing I liked was the V8 roar always loved that, but personally go the XR6T. Bang for your buck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is finding a 300+ rwkw xr6t to test, as I'd hate to make the decision between the two by test driving the 320rwkw VE SS and a stock xr6t.

Good luck with it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
