I am not a fan of front wheel drive in large cars but these things are so quiet and well built and as a day to day thing - acceptable.

timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 7m 2d Gender: Male Posted 07/02/13 01:36 AM Share Posted 07/02/13 01:36 AM Vw's arent very reliable though lol we have a vw dealership and every 2nd car either has a blown engine or a blown gearbox, same with renault they work in our workshop and their hoists are constantly taken up by cars with gboxes out...Yeah,a recent engine reliability survey in Britain based on 50,000 warranty claims showed that VW made the top ten worst list,with BMW and Audi topping the list.Although unrelated to our Falcon/Territory engines,Ford made it into the top ten list of the most reliable engines in the UK, with of course Honda topping that list.

robbay91 Member 68 Member For: 12y 11m 29d Gender: Male Posted 18/02/13 11:54 AM Share Posted 18/02/13 11:54 AM I use to have an au II ute LPG and I loved it only thing thing is, is that I spent 6 grand repairing it within 3 years. I bought it for 7500!!! Only cost me 50 bucks max per weekI bought a turbo but if I had to buy something n/a I would buy the Eco lpi falcon, they have slightly more kw then a petrol and I think they have more torque too plus u get 650 km out of a tank which only costs 50 bucs for 80 litres!! If they made a turbo Eco lpi version I woulda bought that haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83882-xr6-v-3l-commodore/page/3/#findComment-1364138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Well you'd have to be the biggest bogan in the world that is in denial to not figure that one out.
