I'd give this a pass, torched them up very nicely...........................

I was thinking about the comparisons to the other locally made 6's and agree 100%.
Its no Barra Turbo but is as torquey as the NA Barra and delivers its power quite easily.
To drive it feels like a Commodore, you sit low go kart style but is comfy and compliant.
Then you have the trim and after 17yrs the leather is still holding up well despite no tint to keep the heat out, the seat bolsters are still intact as is the seat plastics, alot like Toyota durability.
Its got the sporty look of an XR6 or SV6 without the excess stick on plastics of an Aurion ZR.
So it feels, handles and looks like a blend of its fellow country built cars from its era.
