xero Member 4 Member For: 18y 9m Posted 16/10/06 12:57 PM Share Posted 16/10/06 12:57 PM Hi members,I have been shooting around this site for a while now, and it seems fitting to ask now as I have sold my car and it is finally time for purchase. I really do like the XR6 T but it seems from the forums their are alot of bugs. Should I be cautious in buying any particular version... manual ? auto ? 2004 onwards less buggy ect...Any wisdom would be great.

'04 auto sounds like a good choice, certainly lots to choose from. As for bugs, the Turbos have had their issues, but as a model are extremely solid.Oh, your driveline may clunk but that's a Ford NCO.
