Yep great little car, but weighing in at just under the weight of a lightned SS LS1, I think I would leave it at Simons for a month before I started trying to take them off the lights.....

as I mentioned before id rather spend $36000 on a second hand xr6 turbo and put modifications to it. better bang for your buck

Its a hard car NOT to fall in love with!

We took delivery of our Demo XR5 in 'Panther Black' with the Recaro Leather interior, on Friday night. Now this car was intended for the main display in the showroom, 'WAS'.

From Saturday onwards, I myself have been on 12 test drives, and the XR5T hasn't come close to the showroom floor

It's hard to not grin when driving this thing, it's appeal, even if not taken by it from the beginning draws you in. It's easy to see the differences in build quality and overall finish in this vehicle compared to (as much as I hate to say) my XR6T Ute is obvious.

I could go on and on, although I won't, just remember that it's a car not to underestimate or take lightly, it'll dismiss most of what you see on the roads in both performace and especially handling (One Integra Type-S driver learnt the hardway on Sunday .

Check the little bugger out
