I wonder how many drivers of other cars such has SUV's, station wagons, econo boxes etc LOVE driving their car as much as G6E T, XR6R, FPV drivers do? The funny thing is that people spend big bucks on other options and could otherwise have a car they really enjoy and can fit the whole family in for the same or less.

BTW, I am not having a go at the other choices because I was in that category for a long time. I made the "practical" family choice (thank the Mrs) for the last 10yrs but this time Ford offered a car that could keep all of us happy and happy we all are.. even the Mrs. :beerchug:

What tyres are fitted to the 19" wheels? Are they dunlops as well?

If so that's the cause of your tramlining, they are the most ordinary tyre you could imagine and even the cheaper replacements are better behaved.

dunlop sportmax on the 19" xr and don't tramline that bad, its more to do with width than height (245's on them !) and that paint protection package for 1800 bucks or whatever is nothing short of a rip off ! hope ya didnt pay anything like that for it !

My mates been a head painter for honda and service manager after that for 20+yrs and told me its a gimmick spray and some scotchguard type of spray for the interior.... another way to rip the punter off ! waste if time and money !

I am assuming you WISH for more top end? I agree, a bit more would be nice. However, I prefer the power low where its usable. A performance tune would fix the lack of top end power.

Yeah, more top end would be nice, sometimes it feels just plain flat from 70 up.

As for the paint protection, y would u pay anything for nothing, it's a rort.

the Expensive Daewoo dealer sales tart with big titties tried to sell me it when we looked at the SS, I giggled and said no thanks, I'd rather burn my money ! its a load of sh*t and worthless and you also have to satisfy a criteria for any claims so they can squirm out of it easy as pie !
