We cained the shite out of an XR5 today. I didn't get a steer but it was still good fun. Someone told me they were hard to stall so we jumped off the clutch at the lights and it just coasted away, cool!
The seats are excellent, even though I'm 6'2" and built pretty solid I still had stacks of room. The interior plastics felt a bit cheap but there were nice touches like the brushed alloy XR5 door jam inserts. I noted they forgot to rebadge the motor, it still says ST. The exhaust wasn't that loud, I expected it to be more intrusive. Overall its a nice well built car with plenty of go that handles significantly better than most. I really think I need one. |

In the 07 model there is rear power windows. There was a mix up in production and the made a batch without rear power windows. The problem has been fixed. With people who have rear power windows were giving $1,000 off the vehicle
