2005 Ford Falcon BA XT MKII review from Australia and New Zealand
"A fantastic sedan to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odd, faint whining noise upon acceleration.
General comments?
This car definitely has some grunt to it, the roaring of the engine when the acceleration is hard is just so satisfying!
The sports shift mode is absolute bullocks and nearly completely pointless (aside from making the car run at higher revs)
Visibility and size of the car can make parking difficult to the uninitiated.
Pretty comfortable, extremely roomy too.
The console is very neat in appearence, with the buttons being quite tactile and not clunky, in my opinion far superior to that of commodores.
