Default Drove an XR5

Yesterday as part of a Ford product drive day i had the opportunity to drive the XR5 Turbo, and it blew me away. The car really delivers in everyway I hoped it would. From the engine note to the quality of the interior its going to be a fantastic car for ford. I found that it was a great drivers car in every way, the steering was well weighted and the gear box felt similar to that in the current manual focus models. Torque was awesome in any gear at any time even going up steep hills there is loads of it. The grip is also great and the seats offer really comfortable support. I loved the interior of the car with its black roof lining and recaro seats. The whole interior gave off a feeling of good quality craftsmanship. The feel of the whole car was brilliant and I’d easily take one over a XR6T any day.
