Anyone know this still doesn’t have left-foot rest like its predecessor?

READ A WRITE UP ON THIS CAR WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED. IT WAS UP AGAINST THE XR6 AND A WRX.WASN’T THE MOST POWERFULL OF THE THREE, BUT BEST PACKAGE OVERALL.THE NEW MODEL LOOKS EVEN BETTER. FOR ANYONE TO SAY THIS CAR LOOKS CHEAP AND NASTY IS BEYOND BELIEF. BOTH HOLDEN AND FORD MAKE SOME GREAT LOOKING CARS.ITS JUST HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO ADMIT IT.

It looks good the stripes makes it looks more like a race car I better star saving money so I can buy this XR5T.
I hope the Fiesta XR4 would get a new look just like this XR5T.

True Duck, we’ve seen quite often that a negative opinion against Holden or Ford doesn’t mean they barrack for the other side. Often they’re Europhiles.

AC COBRA, I am but just because a person goes and makes a comment and say the XR5 is crap in his or her opinion does not mean they will be a holden lover like Prince for example.

I respect your likes, like you like ford and I hope you do respect for me that I like Holden. We cant change that. But when you go and talk about (like you sometimes) how much you hate Holden and the say Ford Rules and Holden sucks! Thats just rude and no respect of other peoples beleifs/likes. But if you like chinese cars well…………thats different because they are crap!

i love the look of the xr5 & would buy one tomorrow if i didn’t love my old xy so much it would wipe the floor with most commodores on the road. sorry prince if you want to leave illiterate stupid comments on a site don’t leave them on a site where intelligent people want to post a blog all you have to do is go to a holden site & you will fit right in buddy

Oh and Prince, I think you should be more ashamed about your grammar than being seen in a certain type of car. First things first mate.

It looks great, but why don’t we get the 3-door in Australia?

Thanks for the input Prince. Not slightly biased against Ford are we?

TonyM, it’s the forthcoming RS model that I wish was AWD.

I wish it was 4X4 then maybe it could challenge the Lancer or Subaru.

“Why do the ford us designers think placing plastic chrome on the front of the intire fleet looks good?”

Your not wrong, I can’t believe on the same website there is a video which talks about its design highlights. Its truly the ugly sister of the Euro Focus, why or why give it the same name!

Still dunno why they dont offer cruise. But damn with fuel the way it is i may have to trade in the xr6 turbo for one. Or maybe wait for RS hopefully will come with awd but not holding my breath

Yep those US ones are gross. A recent copy of Car & Driver Mag i have does a comparison test of medium size models including the Focus. They have managed to mess up both the interior and the exterior. The model they tested (not sure what grade) even had wind up windows in the front. COr how cool is that.
