Typhoon Options

[F6ijustwantone]

Hi all,

I'm a few weeks away from buying a BF F6 in Ego and was hoping you guys could help me out with a couple of queries on options for seat and steering wheel?

Seats: I've seen the cloth seats, looks very nice for standard seats. Haven't seen the leather though, what are peoples thoughts? Do they look better, are they worth the extra, or neither?

And optional steering wheel, same questions really, is it better to drive with than the standard?

And from what I'm seeing on this site as far as bargaining on new prices goes around $5K off RRP seems to be fairly achievable, is that pretty much peoples experiences? (I'm in Perth if that makes a difference)

Thanks for the help everyone.

If you like leather seats, option the car with it. Having bought a F6 auto, I spoke to a few dealers and they had the same opinion of the leather interior; probably not worth any extra considering the climate in Perth. Simply too uncomfortable in summer.

The big steering wheel is a nice option. I didn't order the car with one due to the wait it would have incurred. Likewise with the 19" wheels.

You'll find the best deals are to be had with cars in stock. I bought my Bionic F6 auto for a tad over $60k driveaway incl ORC and dealer delivery.

Happy shopping

leather without a doubt, it feels better, more comfortable, and easier to keep clean and maintain

As above. I've had some pretty warm days with the leather, and with climate control and A PAIR OF PANTS haven't had any 'warm weather leather issues'. Get it man.

As for the wheel, well I love mine. Hand grip goodness.

I optioned the leather. Looks and feels nice. With climate control I dont see what the issue is with the warmer weather.

Did the same with the steering wheel. nicer grip than the standard one.

yeh the wheel option is worth getting I reckon.. feels awesome to drive with it..

as for leather, up to your own tastes.. ive had leather in my last few cars and got sick of the way it creases etc so I opted for fabric - would have taken a few extra weeks to get leather anyway so worked out better for me.

I tried these guys, and they were very quick off the mark to get in touch, next day if I recall. But when I actually asked them to confirm prices things went very quiet. If you get any kind of fleet pricing, I dont think they will be better.

However, that's my experience and you may be luckier. Give them a try, it won't hurt.

I had Sports Leather on my Turbo with Sports Steering Wheel - loved both of them.

When I bought my Phoon I swapped the wheel over (the standard one is terrible for a car like this), but could not justify the extra cost for leather.

I am very happy with the standard seats they are good, but would have equally been happy with leather.
