good result. nice to see the commode at the rear of the pack

Tis a good review and result

But the public still are going to think that all large cars use $500 worth of petrol each week than a Toyota Starlet.

I reality it's probably $30/week depending on km's....

Even less for the average user. (23000kmpy or something along those lines).

Since smaller cars don't depreciate as much, that'd mean the parts are more expensive and thus servicing costs are too.

Gotta love the reality of things.

This was posted before in another recent thread...don't remember which one...

It was a good read though...and it goes to show that despite the media hype surrounding the VE, it's really quite run of the mill.

Glad to see that they recognise the improvements in Ford. I hope that others do too.

I still can;t get over how people dislike the boot that doesn't have a flat floor. Ford should offer a No cost option, a piece of carpeted wood that covers the indent, then they would complain that there is wasted space under the wood.

I'ts good to see that it isn't only the performance Falcons doing well, Good to see it so far ahead of the Holden. I found the Accord to be a bit of a surprise.

Ouch! Commodore beaten by the Aurion

There's another thread in the Falcon section: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11228584

Read the comments at the bottom, if you can be bothered. Always good for half an hours worth of laughs :.

Good win for the Falcon, now all we need is for ford to advertise the fact.

[satria]

yep awesome win for falcon... my brother owns an accord and it is one hell of a car so for the falcon to beat it, it has done VERY well

as for the cons, don't you think its funny how a non-flat boot is one of the only things they can say negatively about it? goes to show it's an awesome car because to me a flat boot would be worse hehehe things roll around too much!

[OZQUAD44]

All Ford AUS has to do now is let people know what a good package they have on their hands or even better, send it to the USofA to help bail out Ford over there..... I'm not holding my breath for either of these things to happen BTW.

Nice result for the G6E, Might see If i can point the wifie in that direction when we upgrade her car next year.

It is good to see the Falcon rated well, but don't forget that it being that close, opinions may be subjective.

But the FG clearly has improved.

I *hated* the boot in my XR8. Compare it to a XW Jetta. I carry a lot of odd shaped boxes in my boot and when it was getting to 3/4 it felt like I was playing a game of tetris - would take 5 minutes to get things right, try that in the rain - now try adding another f'n box. Most of the time I would just give up and have to throw boxes in the back seat even though the boot wasn't full.

If you were to stick a plank of wood on the floor then you'd have zero space.

AAhh, the sweet sound of more success for FORD. I reckon its a winner without doing all thes super hype selling and advertising that holden are doing trying to sell there second rate cars. The FG from its inception was a car to be reckoned with and will continue to be. I only wish i had the 47 grand to go and purchase 1..Holden should be afraid, no, very, very afraid..lol

[JD86]

good to see a good review for ford, good to see the holden at the rear too

[whales]

Ford should use that artice about the G6E as a part of an advertising campaign so everybody can read how good the FG is.

[V3RSAC3]

HOLLY F@@#, i just flipped my screen upside down :O :O .. damn signitures


anyway, yeah good results boys!!

I know the B-series did have a cost option to cover up that hole, I would assume that the FG would have it.

But if thats in the top three things that they can fault on the car then the FG is one great model to come out of broady. I just hope that the punters have a look at the car when they are in the market.

great to see but the funny thing is the commodore the worst buy a mile it seems is "aust favourite car" its shithouse (in 6cyl form) and all the bogans out there saying ford is rubbish

The Aurion's not a bad car. I the past twelve months I have had three of them. I did my own review 12 months ago with BFII Fairmont Ghia, calais V, Aurion Presara and 380GT. Our company ended up purchasing the Aurion namely for its features and resale. Something Toyota could teach Ford and Holden.


I am getting another Presara next week (no.4) and in four months time I will be trying hard to get a G6E, maybe even the T.
