Changes on the door trim is nice so less buys fall off - more tech on a Late model camira 64 - ride and handling was barely any better than both my bfs and was extremely sh*thouse - motor is standard trim was under whelming. Power delivery was ok in lower RPM OVERALL I couldn’t wait to get out of it.

Wouldnt take much much to wake up but unfortunately I’m not willing to live with the car overall so looking elsewhere Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/9812/#findComment-1686729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
