I bought this car about 3 years ago , I had a Lancer 2 door coupe and a Holden Commodore at that time.
So its was my third car at that time. Sold the other two and kept this and imported a Chaser and then a skyline from japan.

About this car,
2005 Ford Falcon XT MKII , I bought this car from a dealer called melbournecheapest cars.
It was used 3 years old. Spent about 19000 dollars on this car. ( 1 Au dollar = 47.50 rs)

Its basically Australian body with Ford (american) engine but this engine is built in Australia and doesn't come from America.
When I bought the car it already had 130,000Kms on it.
4.0 Litre 6 cylinder engine powers the rear wheel with 180 killowatts Stock @5500 RPM.
This engine if turbocharged produces well over 600Killowatts.
I keep this car as a family car as my parents do visit us once a while.
Economy wise: one tank of 65 litres lasts abt 450 Kms
Performance Wise: on Power mode , RPM starts ripping the horses and car accellerate like a mad bull
Maintenance : Since its Australian parts are not as expensive.
Ride quality: pretty smooth and quiet Ride , comes with a 6 CD changer and electric driver seat.
Overall a nice family car to have

I didn't say they are bad cars, I just feel that a 4.0L for city driving is just too much when say my Barina (1.3L) was able to get me to the limit quick enough. Not making a comparison obviously the barina is a tiny car, but say my Dad's Skoda, 2litre, plenty of grunt, massive car. Now that is what I call balance

Except for some fun in the wet!!!

Skodas aren't that great in Australia. People don't really like them here. They like thier holdens and fords.

I like this car I want to keep the luxury without compromising the power

When I talk about power am talking about somewhere near 200 Killowatts ( abt 350+ horses)

Not saying they are the best, Skoda's are good cars for what they are. I know about the holden/for thing too. It kinda gets on my nerves, they don't even look at other cars. damn Aussies :P
