As a new ford owner, last car a 02 nissan patrol, I could have gone either way when we bought our cars. In november (05) we bought my wifes LX Fiesta, looked at all the competition and decided that this was the best quality/value for our money. Holden Barina came in at number 4 on the list. In December we bought our BF XR8. We looked at all possibilities in the V8 car market and the same applied. The XR8 was the best quality/value for money that we could find. One important factor that was considered when we bought the cars was the "4 year factor" We looked at all brand cars at the 4 years of age mark and looked at what sort of condition these cars were in. This is not rocket science as all cars have different kinds of lives over 4 years, some are babied and some are caned. But on average, 4 year old fords were standing up better than any other maker. I live in the Alice, now this might make a difference!!. Another interesting thing that happened last year, the company I work for changed from holden commodores to ford BA / BF for people that are on the road. Reasons were constant complaints from reps about the holdens "not being as sturdy as they would have liked" It will be interesting to see how the fords go. My shift partner took delivery of a new BA about 10 months ago. His last car (commodore) was falling to pieces. So far he is impressed with the quiet ride of the BA. Time will tell. Also, we have lots of monaros and SS thingies here. Most of these are driven by Americans, these guys know nothing about the holden vs ford crap that gets around. After discusions with these guys and hearing about oil leaks, bent axles, cracked radiators, un explained steering wobbles, in their moons and SS's,
I looked very hard at the GM product. I think that GM have some quality issues to address (and I am sure that they will). But when it came to shelling out 60K for a car, the $$ went to ford. I amnot a holden biggot or a ford biggot, but at the moment, ford seems to be the smarter choice. All the best all. |

these holden and ford blashing does sometimes seem out of hand with they comments.
For me personally i like both Holden and Ford even thou im very supportive how ford drive than holden, and how it made and etc... still i think its better to take a pick out of the "honda fans" who rage on about the vtac engine. Belive me I know how that feels i got mates who love they honda so much that it just make me disrepect that car full stop. |

Thanks for the cool sig though...
Next time can you say Ford AU's are like the imperial god of the Automotive industry and nothing else matters please? I'd prefer that.

The only times I jump on you is when you start yabbering on about VL Turbos or trying to angle them in to every thread. Since you havent done that lately I havent hammered you. In fact, given the name change and the avatar change lately I havent really noticed you that much at all. I did see the post about the XR6S idea.. I actually think that was a good idea. So if YOU can pull your head out and see that we are not out to get you unless you start acting like a VLT gimp again then I wont NEED to ban you.' Oh, and for the record, if I wanted to ban you I can... and no one would question it one bit. I am choosing not to. Dont make me change my mind. Everyone gets one free abuse with me.. you have had yours. Dont follow GMHDrivers lead, its not worth it.

Also in that thread I said I dont have a problem with Ford fans I just have a problem with one eyed ones that get the sh*ts everytime a Holden is mentioned. Also Laminge, no I dont spend 90% of my time on here in heated discussion, if you look through every single one of my posts you'll see that they are not all Holden related. Also are the personal attacks nessasary? (Not directed at you) like what Damo just done? I dont exactly come in here and start saying Fords are sh*t or attack Member's cars. Quote:

Can't everybody just accept the fact that we're all flogging hypocrites? I've seen plenty of blatent ford bashing threads on just commodores, similarily shut down by their mods, just like the holden bashing ones that appear on our forum from time to time, similarly shut down by our mods. They have their members that just want to bash the other side, and so do we. Just flaming well except that we have our differences, and you can whinge till you turn blue, but it still doesn't change the fact that we're just as bad as each other. Take a chill pill all and get over it, nothing to see here.
