Lennox Member 2,586 Member For: 11y 11m 23d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 08/09/14 02:02 AM Share Posted 08/09/14 02:02 AM (edited) I've driven an xr5 many times and own an xr6t. Stock for stock handling wise the xr5 smashes it, way more confidence inspiring in the corners. The xr6s understeer like utter sh*t, just a lot of car to throw around. I'd like to try one with coilovers to see if it's as good as people say Edited 08/09/14 02:02 AM by Lennox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer feel disconnected from the road, car sits flat through the corners and you get proper feedback on the level of grip you have underneath. Best mod ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xr6 seats are taxi spec Edited 08/09/14 02:11 PM by Lennox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xr6 seats are taxi specNah I don't have it anymore but those recaro seats are the best supporting seats I've ever been in, going around corners is a breeze as they hold you in so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is cosmetic differences and the the g6e only comes in auto but from a handling and performance side what are the differences? Cheers.
