AWD 2.3L turbo 10.something comp. and have a reasonably good box backing them too.. main weaknesses are rear diff bush and timing chain tensioner which can be checked very easily..Anyway good cheap car to get you around wont loose much money on it def. a bang for buck car until you get the req. coin for the g.Just a though anyway LOL I drove one the other day (07 model) and they f*ckin crack for a little stocker haha handle good too. better kw/kg than a rexy too Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84965-what-to-stay-away-from/page/2/#findComment-1390697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
