Just got an XT Foz and, as I get a new CO car every couple of years, was intersted in comparing with other cars - so here goes.

Likes -
- Motor - what a machine. Also love the boxer note and growl.
- Space - Lots of it and easy to get at.
- Vision - I like the view out of the car.
- Power - that feeling of being drawn back into the seat is amasing.
- Power - The 'get up and go' right through the rev range is unbelievable.
- Driving - Amasing - what more can be said.

Dislikes
-Headlights. Low Beam - High intensity, High beam - 'normal' lights bit of come down going to hi beam
- Gearbox - Once you get used to the manual it it's ok but jeez the selections are close.
- Mirrors - I find that the distance relationship between the side mirrors and the interior one is hard to judge. When I am changing lanes I check the outside and cars seem a long way off but a quick scan out the back window and I cannot see wher the car is.
- My previous car was a commodore (SV6) and the rest warning after 2 hours was a neat idea.
- Seats - There is no lumbar adjustment and it is VERY hard to get the seat in a comfortable position.

Any others???

We love our XT Foz.

As I have said many times - your car needs to suit your lifestyle and needs - not change your lifestyle to suit the car!

2 smallish kids, outdoor pursuits of MTB and skiing (roof racks essential), lived in Darwin when purchased - where roads flood very quickly in the wet season and the security of AWD extremely appreciated, odd camping trip, long distance that needed to be travelled safely and quickly, and wife's everyday driver, etc, etc. Couldn't think of a better vehicle in our price range.................

what year is it?

I'm selling my 03 XS soon, SWMBO has a Foz 08 X for work and i have the 03 and a Brumby work ute.

i LOVE the 03, if i ever buy another one i'll get an 07, i dislike the new shape.
