VZ SS or BF XR8

WATTIE · 05-07-2008, 10:39

G'day people,
I'm looking to upgrade from the xg at the end of the year when the new job starts to a v8 of some description. Always been a holden man and rightfully so after drivin the xg with all its problems for 6 yrs. However, i don't mind the BF XR8 with its improvements. So it's down to either a BF or a VZ so can anyone with some knowledge on the subject give me some tips, advice or pros and cons to help me with this decision.

Cheers WATTIE

i think the falcon can hold more weight, and the interior is more roomy and more comfortable, also the bf has all the space behind the seats, i have a ba and a mate has a vy and he loves his holdens but loves the inside of mine for the same reasons

Yeah ford still makes utes that can carry a reasonable amount of wieght without choppin the inside of the back tyres up, i've got a bad back aswell and the fords seats mean i can drive all day with no worries, but each to their own.

take both for a test drive and see what one you like

I'm a dead set Holden girl, but my ex had a BF XR8 and its a seriously smooth drive aye, and the space behind the seats is also a huge plus.
