tough choices - xr6t or ghia???

[blueoval]

Well I have been given the ok from the mrs to upgrade the car as the Subaru currently isnt up to the task for me powerwise and room wise.

Dont get me wrong, the subby has been the best for reliability that I have ever owned, but sadly Im finding its too gutless in the lower rev range for my driving, plus doesnt have the room I need to carry 5 with some form of comfort.

The one thing it was good for was the fact that it was a wagon and I could carry my father inlaws 100kg electric wheel chair in the back.

So the quest for a replacement remains, which car to choose from?

The cars in question are the BA xr6 turbo or BA fairmont Ghia.

Now I have had a fixation for the xr6 turbo for quite some time but the mrs hates the thought of me getting a turbo. Go figure! :P But she has expressed to me that I could get one at her dissaproval. :P

So I was thinking, to be a careing husband what if it was worth me settling for a BA Ghia in lieu of the turbs?

I know the majority of the male members here would vote for the turbo, but would the ghia be that bad?

EDIT: BTW I will be looking at 03-04 models. Cant afford brand spankers. :(
