Xr6 Turbo Bf/ba Manual Or Auto?

[Nathe]

What is better a xr6 turbo a manual or automatic and which model do you prefer a Ba or Bf....

[NVT]

That's a pretty broad question mate...

Do you have a T or are you looking at buying one?

Here is the short answer - Better? BF MKII is the best of the BA/BF Series.

Automatic gearbox of choice is definitely the ZF 6 speed auto in the BF's, and as far as manuals go, go for the 6 speed.

Hope that helps,

Dan

Having driven both BA and BF in auto there is no question the ZF just bloody rocks.

The 4 speed auto in the BA is still good but not even close to the ZF in terms of sheer fun.

I didnt consider manuals as I do a bit of city driving and couldnt be bothered chasing a gearstick

Manuals are very clunky in Falcons, so Auto's the way to go. I see the Falcon as an affordable comfortable sporty car - not sporty enough to justify manual transmission.

I had a 03 xr6t ute that was auto BORING!! first ford I drove that was manual I brought it :$ 05 xr6t with 6sp .. I will NEVER drive another auto again.. yes the box is abit big and clunky but its so much fun

I prefer the 6psd auto. was looking at gettin a manual when I first got the car. but after I drove the auto. it was absolutly awsome!! best bet is to go try each tranmission and make your own decision.

manual for sure either a BAII for 6speed or both BFI BFII.. autos are for girls, old ppl, lazy buggers and people chasing easy times down the 1/4.. lol

I got the 6 speed auto, its the first auto I've owned and I'm loving it.

Yeah I have the T56 6 speed manual, great gearbox in terms of manual, but when I upgrade to an FG F6 ute in a year or so, im going to go for the 6 Auto. I can not pull my Tornado off the lights fast at the moment, I try practicing launches but under pressure I always spin too much,

no one with a 6 speed auto complains,

But racing around in a 6 speed manual does feel pretty awesome!
