2003 Ford Falcon BA XR8 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high performance muscle car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, I have only had it for a month.
General comments?
This car is awesome, and I got the optional brake package with it.
The cabin is very comfortable and the controls are very user-friendly.
This has got to be one of the nicest sounding V8 around, with the exception of the 4.6L mustang V8. Once you hear it, you'll fall in love, I know I have.
Supposedly the rear seats have gone a bit smaller from the transition from AU to BA, but personally, I don't see any difference.
Its handling is excellent, you point and the car goes.
