2008 Ford Falcon FG G6E review from Australia and New Zealand

Nothing has gone wrong - and I don't expect it will.

Only small gripe is memory seat buttons have fallen in a little to the seat.

Having avoided Ford at all costs, and having Diamantes and Legends, this was a chance buy, and what an amazing decision it turned out to be.

I average about 7.0/100 on a trip, and that's exercising the engine a little; these are limited to 200, I know there is much more there - how do I turn it off?

Round town economy is 11/100, so not too bad, but it has a comfy ride, and the extra stuff the G6E comes with from the G6 even at 9k more is very worthwhile; reversing camera, all the lux stuff, rear air con is great for the kids, full size spare alloy, heavy duty 2.3 t towbar.

Handling is superb, and as good as the old RS6, even though this RWD. When I turn off the traction (litigation button), all the fun starts, but I don't even feel the wheels spinning as it's so well balanced). My wife hits the button to turn it back on :(

Anyways, gone are the old Fords, and this is a remarkable feat for Ford and very European in look, feel and drive. Makes the Commodore look like an old Kingswood.
