or the "monaro" edition kingswood

kinda on the topic......what does everyone think of the BA XR6 turbo?

both ute or 4 door i would consider

any nightmare stories about reliability, or fuel consumption?

**Fitzyb** · 3-1-07, 3:43

Id go the 4door, ute is well, lacking rear weight and seats lol

They go hard, from what ive heard the stock engine is really amazingly strong, and they are pretty reliable too (since there not really running bulk boost like the 15.7 psi of the MPS3/6) Fuel Consumption is like a v8 if your nice, and worse if you boot it lol, but hey, id have one if i had to have a big car, manual of course

**91turbo666** · 3-1-07, 4:11

the thing is though i might need the ute tray space. but on the fuel consumption figures, the official numbers im finding are

City cycle - 12.5-litres/100km, Highway cycle - 8.0-litres/100km

now my mx6 does about 10-11/100km around town and 8 on the highway, so those figures might be optimistic...i found some forums where people were getting about 18L/100km

though that might be their foot causing the problem. having said that i do like to give the mx6 a boot here and there!

**NiN^_^NiN** · 3-1-07, 5:29

The xr6 Turbo is a nice car has nice power and torque but it doesn't feel a tiny bit mundane compared to the DE more so cause of how it sounds

They are a great car but there has been a few lemons and most of the lemons haven't got fixed and ford won't fix then after they tried alot.

Also the intercooler is pretty crap and it's the first mod most people do if they are happy to lose the warrenty.

Nice car tiny bit of a gas hog but you really need to try it yourself

**91turbo666** · 3-1-07, 5:34

hmmm what good diesel cars are there around?

i could live with a diesel, if it was a nice luxury sedan or similar

Looks like the new mazda's took the grill design off the mazdaspeed concept

**jmoore** · 3-1-07, 6:43

i want those rims

**The MichelinMan** · 3-1-07, 7:08

that car does look good

**NiN^_^NiN** · 3-1-07, 7:13

if i wasnt busy with the probe id buy a 626 and get a custom bodykit made like that and slap on a turbo on the de

Also want to get a toyota sera and do a custom kit to make it look like the sportivo concept with the same gullwing doors

**91turbo666** · 3-1-07, 7:33

why do companies hardly ever make the concept cars! that 626 would be much better than the current mps

**Fitzyb** · 3-1-07, 7:40

Cause there concept cars

, and id prefer the current mps to be honest, looks better and would have nicer int than the povospec GF series 626's

and if you wanna deisil car get a golf, know someone whos got someone, got 3.41 L/100ks on a long run and gets 4.6 around town easy

or the new mazda6 deisel, there nice, my dad wants one lol

**91turbo666** · 3-1-07, 7:43

true i thought about them, but i need something like a big sedan or a station wagon. like the estate versions of bmws or mercs but they are big $$ to get into

ill take a look at this mazda 6 diesel

are there any good jap diesel station wagons or big sedans?

ahh yes they make a station wagon version of the mazda6 diesel. why cant they make it rwd or 4wd grr

might go with a suby
