I think you will find there is some dodgy business going on with that review. Take a look at what Wheels said about the GTS MRC performance mode (same as Senator) the month before and in their VE special. From memory, it was something like, "the performance mode is more than terrific for everyday road use" and that it is "uncanny how it smooths out the bumps" (in a GTS with 20s!) Also it is wheels that said that VE rides better than any current BMW. Quite interesting that it all turned around all of the sudden to say the Senator did not ride / handle well and was overly harsh. As stated earlier, maybe it was a dodgy unit ...

Expensive Daewoo and ford need to realise that they will never get their cars to ride and handle as well as cars like BMW's etc.

And thank god for that. A phoon sits quite nicely at 250 with no issues . Brembos help though

Amen to that. With upgraded damping, they're positively glued to the road.

New BMW's have been widely critisised for riding very harshly on their run flat tyres.

I think that all of the features the Force 6 gets should have been standard in all FPVs anyway. Performance wheel, memory seating with more adjustments, options of leather colours etc etc.

I would like one, but will never own one.

Turns out the reason the Senator didn't ride to well, was spacer blocks were left in the springs for transport and HSV forgot to remove them

I think the performance wheel is now standard on all BFII FPV's.
