Well, sure my XR6 has about 130k has never given me any dramas, fun to drive, easy to source parts and they are cheap. I have a range of about 1350kms between LPG and Petrol and the GRUNT. My car has cruise, power steer, trip computer,
ABS, central locking, Power windows,
REAR passenger lights and cold A/C! ( lol ) etc etc.
I can see the funky side of the fez, hell I own one but just a pain in the a$$ when you try and get a few people in with a baby seat and then have to rev its little heart out just to get the thing moving, while the wife is yelling at you "STOP REVVING THE CRAP OUT OF MY CAR AND DRIVING LIKE YOUR SOME FAILED V8 SUPER-CAR RACER!"
I think ill bail on this thread, I'm more performance based with the essential mods cons balance, but not interested in the marketing extras.
