2008 Ford Falcon XR6 Ute review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good value for the money. Terrific looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Well presented, comfortable interior, great features, with some fun bits that can add a personal touch to the way the car works, such as being able to set some of the operating parameters through the ICC.
Poor quality speakers spoil the audio.
Good looks; the new tonneau cover is clean, and is probably easier to use too.
Smooth engine with heaps of performance, with the five speed automatic adding to the liveliness.
Nice notes when pushing a bit harder.
Sports seats are comfortable without locking you into one position.
Nice dash layout, but takes a little getting used to.
Firm, but not overly harsh ride.
