Odd, faint whining noise upon acceleration.
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.
The faint noise is differential noise, but it is definitely not an indication of differential failure.
Most EA-AU automatic Falcons do it. Talking to numerous taxi drivers, they say rarely do they have to replace the diff in the life of the cab, but it will make the noise most of its life.
