Well I've driven the SS, and I quite liked it.It had a lot of road feel, and you really knew what speed you were doing without looking at the speedo.This is great for a twisty run, track day or the like. But I do about 50,000kms of highway driving each year, and it would really annoy me that I'm not in a refined car.That and the fact it has no ICC (I love the my ICC), is my only criticism...

I own both SS and T and the only thing I like about the SS at the moment is its producing better fuel consumption figures than the T is.The engine doesnt do much for me when compared to the T, but it is still a great drive. The T is better though.The VY build quality seems better than the BA, IMO.

Also wseems they are happy to teat alot of their loyal customers as second class to the VIP's that get the good ones upon request.Get your act together Ford and start to put some passion behind your cars. If you want to compete with the rest of the world, you are currently way off the mark of competing in anything above the $40k mark! The A class build cars are not built any different from other cars and do not use any special parts. They are pulled off the line after every area and are thouroughly quality inspected to make sure all bits are fitted properly and that the paint etc is perfect and free from any imperfections. All welds are also checked. It does not mean the car will not have faults but the fit and finish should be the way it's supposed to be. Obviously this cannot be done on every car and it is time consuming.
phantomchic Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be.....

When I got near the front of the truck that was in front of me, he swerved into me on the wrong side of the road. He clipped me and sent me spinning around and around into a Tree.My boot hit the tree at about 100km/hI couldn’t open my door to get out, but a guy behind me who saw the whole thing stopped and helped me out of the car. Bout two minutes later the car exploded.This guy works at Bob Jane T-Marts in Nowra, so I know where I'll be getting my tyres from now on!!You can also see that the metal from my rear passenger door is missing. It is on the trucks bull bar, indicating that more than half my car was infront on the truck when he hit me. That means he didn't even look before pulling out on the wrong side of the road.I wasn't speeding (for once), and the accident was not my fault.Anyway, I can finally prove that HgAg is undercoat, and that Ford have been working on a two door turbo concept... ←HOLY GUACAMOLEfirst time I have seen that you one lucky man croshazzy
