just wondering if the ba mk2 xr8's are decent ive heard bad things about them, but im pretty sure theres fuk all wrong with them. any feedback would be great.

just bought a BF MK1 XR8 and the 6spd auto is worth every penny over the 4spd box , much smoother and nicer trans to drive through, having said that the car itself whether it be a BA/BF is a much of muchness , like I like the BA series rims and hate my BF XR rims! Neither car would dissapoint you , mines an ex cop car and i have had no drammas cept for a intermitent spark plug..

my housemate has a 6 speed man above mentioned variant ute, has had a new engine put in and now needs P/S pump, done 20,000kms. It has had an extraordanarily hard life with him though. great vehicle otherwise

SIX SPEED AUTO.

Totally different car to drive.
Plus suspension changes, upgrades to the engine/pcm software/ lots of little updates
much better car

i bought a BA mark II xr8 in 6 speed manual, pick her up tomorrow.
