“Old Fart picked up one FPV GT-E last week.”

…the battery doesn’t go flat in 6 weeks if you don’t use it…”

So just how do you know that when you have had it a week ? LOL !

Anyway, these do look good apart from the wood interior… and unfortunately the rear view looks like a inflated Subaru Liberty (in a nice way – just a bit similar)

Woeful resale but everything is the same these days so I guess enjoy it while you can !

Old Fart picked up one FPV GT-E last week. Have had other European equivalents in the past and trust me when I say, this is as good or even better than a lot of higher priced imports. It truely is a World beater.

Lots of little things make it so much better, like a full sized spare tyre, a bluetooth connection that actually works, an mp3 player that actually works, the battery doesn’t go flat in 6 weeks if you don’t use it, a comfortable driving position, and of course, that great sounding deep breathing monster that erupts when the right foot is depressed…… and yes, it does go around corners OK as well.

By the way, I’m still running it it, but gave it a squirt or two on a recent 500 K+ trip and surprise, surprise, still managed 11.5l per 100K.

It’s nice to see the blue oval get it’s mojo back, without all the stripes……

Are we here to bicker at each other and insult intelligence, or discuss the GT-E?

Jetski nobber brain – you criticise others for making spelling errors when you make one yourself. Your first comment ‘then’ should be ‘than’. ha ha you’re a first class embarrassment. Captain would rip you apart.

I am a ford supporter but i must say this car looks hidious!!

What is with the interior it looks old and looks worse than the out going Falcons interior with that ugly wood trim and dull centre face. the front of the thing looks okay. not good enough to rival the generals finest unforcanatly, it looks unbalced and the black around the front looks like a last miute attacment.

Very Dissapointing

Arly – I couldn’t buy either living in the UK mate. My comment was in response to Jimbo’s comment about selling the them in Europe. Given that the Monaro which made it to the UK was $85K (ish) these would be in the same price range as BMW’s Audi’s and Merc which people would prefer to be in.
However they are quite nice fuel consumption excepted. Petrol today here is $2.65/lit diesel now hitting $3.03 Cheers dude
