Good. That engine is one of the few good points they have going for them.

Come on guys !! Isnt it good to see the manufacturer of a RWD Aussie 6-cyl car get a reprieve.
Im might be a Holden man thru & thru, but I think that the current Ford isnt a bad car. It would be my second choice, certainly over & above any FWD Asian s |

Has the world been knocked off its axis when I wasn,t looking.I know I,ve been busy but no one told me.This can be the only reason that Dr Terry can be talking this way. No fence sitting,either F!#d or HOLDEN! For years we the true belivers have been turb

As per my above post I agree with Terry. If you want a 6cyl Aussie built car the current Ford is probably a better choce. Its probably been that way since about VK.

I thought I might start a stir without elaboration! I was really talking about the engine, not the car. Im not a V6 fan, hence my liking the Ford straight 6.

I agree with Byron on the 6cyl inline and the ford motor is very good,
I have 9 now, bought another one yesterday, they are so cheap compared to Commodore
some of mine are now around the 800,000 km point now
weak points I found are
brakes, wear out t

Dont get me wrong, I probably wouldnt ever buy a Ford as Holden always have the best V8s (well at least since XE anyway), and I like V8s. 3100X is right too, secondhand Fords are great value for money. I bought a 1987 XF ex-cab in 1994 when it hit 7 years |

Ive had a few of each, and currently have a VE as my company car.
Being a one eyed nut, its difficult for me to say it, but I quite liked the BA I had, and would have one again. Its not without its faults, no car is, but it did a damn good job, even i |

Just a quick change of pace for a moment,
The other day at the Howard Springs Lights here in the Top End, I spotted a Valiant Panel Wagon. Id never seen one before. It was in mint condition too. Does anyone know much about them?
