Nothing has gone wrong with this car.
This car is big, inside and out with rear seat passenger leg room to spare. The boot is huge so storage is well catered for. And performance is more than enough to excite. Auto or tiptronic this car goes well and the handling is sublime. Through the winding Papamoa Hills I am able to cover hwat used to be a 15 minute drive in 7 minutes. I am an average driver, but this car makes me better in every sense. Braking, handling and acceleration all combine to make this car something very special.
I quite agree. I have just returned from New Zealand and was given an XR6 rental car by Hertz. Must surely be the most desirable rental ever! This car is clearly built to a budget and not up there with BMW in terms of sheer quality, but I'd have real difficulty in choosing between, say a BMW 530i and this machine if judged purely on driving pleasure. You guys down under are very lucky to have such a wonderful, bargain priced performance car. Please, please Ford, import it to the UK. I'd sell my 7 Series and do something I'd thought I'd never do i.e. rush down to my nearest Ford dealer with cash. Just love the sound of that 4.0 litre straight six when you give it the gun and overtake yet another Maui campervan! Well done Ford of Australia! A truly great engine in a wonderful car.
