Ha ha ha!!! Have you driven an FG XR Falcon??
I own an FG XR6T AND a WS Fiesta Zetec (both manual), I will grant you that the Fiesta is a very nice little car to drive and has zippy steering, particularly around town ..... buuutttt..... it WILL NOT comfortably see off the XR6 Turbo on a winding mountain back road!!
The FG has great weight and feedback in the steering that you do not get with the Fiesta. And lets not start on brakes, and outright mechanical grip, and rear drive dynamics, and power down, LSD's ect .... shall I go on?
If I was heading up to the snowy mountains for a spirited drive I would take my rear drive turbo before the little Fiesta!
Having said that the Fiesta is indeed and very spunky little car to drive and I often choose it over the FG for short runs into town, and I certainly dont feel like a girl driving it
My wife does though ;)
