2005 Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good all round vehicle with a nice blend of performance and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been faultless since new.
General comments?
The only problem I've had since new is with one of the 18" alloy wheels.
The wheel and tyre were ruined after driving, quite sedately, on a dirt road for approximately 100 Ks.
I've since received advice that my tyre pressures were a little low for that type of driving. NSW Police use these cars as pursuit vehicles. They recommend a pressure of 36 PSI which is slightly higher than the factory spec.
