I was (and still am) a german car fan. Wanted an Auid A4 T but couldn't justify the price or the depreciation. In wanting a car with balls, I couldn't go past the XR. My brother has had his since they were released and always raved about it. I couldn't buy a Expensive Daewoo cause my dad wouldn't let me in his house.

Don't have one yet!! but when I saw them in Sept 2002 I wanted one soo badddd!!! did't had the $!! on track to buy one Dec this year!!

They are one of the best cars for you $!!

I know of a very cheap red T with low km, if your interested in getting one early. You wont see any this cheap and in this good condition again id say.

needed a ute,must be tuff enough to carry tools/materials etc (maloo out) it had to be able to have the styleside removed (ss out) , had to go hard (Expensive Daewoo tonner out, but v8 still in na xr out), must be comfortable to drive (all jap comercials out, v8 Expensive Daewoo tonner still in) and had to have great resale as I trade every 2-3 years. (Expensive Daewoo tonner out) so that left the T. So far 951k's and happy

Always wanted a ford. AU was a heap of sh*t so I was waiting for BA and then discovered the turbo BA. One test drive and I was sold. It's a big car and perhaps not the best for the city but out on the open road it's awesome

Performance! I needed a new work ute, but wanted something that I could play in after hours. I have owned a few turbo cars before and I knew how much grunt the T would have once modified.

The space and comfort that a big car gives you, what with 2 kids / clients to cart around. Nice to see the look on the clients face when you give it squirt after discussing the purchase of his new jag / bmw slug.

Major reason I wanted a quick automatic so it was a no brainer really

My gorgeous PHANTOM beast is more like an addition to the family

why did I buy the XRT.... coz they are "fully sic" in every aspect, looks - performance, comfort etc etc

oh and it doesn't answer back

Liked the look of the Ba for ages.

The misses wanted an xr6 I said we might as well get the turbo.

We did not really need a 3rd car.

But after the test drive, the wallet came out.

Why the T?

Early mid life crisis and criteria were:

1. Had to make me smile

2. Had to take my wife and 3 kids all in baby / booster seats.

LS1s and BA V8s felt doughie down low. Second on the list was an AUIII XR8.

For my needs, nothing else came close!
