2016 Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint | bang For Your Bucks 2016 | MOTOR

[@SteveGrason59]

Yeah Mr Warren Luff,we believe everything you say while you're wearing your Holden shirt! What a joke.

[@Adam-rt7lp]

Why because he is honest how ford have shit gearboxes and brakes since the AUs

[@smartey2612]

Adam So ur saying one of the best gearbox’s in the world and the best Brembos in the world aren’t good. Wow ur one of a kind. AP racing brakes fanboy.

[@SkiRacingOz]

@@Adam-rt7lp zf gearbox is one of the best in the world

[@brianhoward9217]

Horrid review. There is clear negative bias here from MOTOR. What a stupid premise. Testing cars made for the road on the track. Let's get a V8 Supercar and see how practical it is for the road. Absolute gooses doing this.

[@joexiberras8915]

We believe every word you say Luff , 6 piston Brembos are'nt all that great , I have 2 brothers with 2013 GTS Clubsports that said my XR6 Sprint has better brakes than there cars. Also you said they don't handle that well , we can see what your all about.

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

How can they say the 4pot Brembo's on the Redline are great but the 6&4's on the Sprint aren't that flash???

[@mattthew2429]

Phil Hawkins better cooling, better materials... and piston are way bigger in the redline

[@smartey2612]

Matt Thew Can you just stop talking about redlines for goodness sack nobody wants to hear a GM lover in a review for Falcon fans! Go watch another video about how the Holden Commodore is the best car in the world 😮🤣

[@TransitionLevel110]

(B)Luff: "you end up over-slowing the car", and then next breath "the brakes aren't that good"... Wot?

[@mattthew2429]

Larry Punter you obviously haven't driven one fast because he's exactly right. The gearbox is shit house...

[@lukesm5747]

@@mattthew2429 the zf 6 is regarded one of the best boxes ever made. Bmw, aston martin, rolls royce, bentley, jag all used these transmissions on there 200k dollar exotics for good reason.

[@SkiRacingOz]

@@mattthew2429 the zf gearbox is one of the best gearboxes ever made you sped

[@thomasenglish342]

I own one. I don't understand the hate here... I think its the best car ford Australia made and thats all they aimed to do. I love mine. Great car. Destroys the p zero's tho (sad face)

[@MegaUnavailableusern]

how is this better than the ssv redline?? how?? do you know how much praise the chevy ss in the states gets?

[@smartey2612]

MegaUnavailableusern He never mentioned anything about Holden! What are u on!? Typical GM owner trying to show off.

[@chabobox1]

@@MegaUnavailableusern He didn't mention anything about the SSV Redline, also an XR6 Sprint would destroy it anyway

[@Studat]

@primoaus I have had xr6ts and apart from being fast they were a bucket of shit. Got the last of the SSVs and regret ever buying the Ford.

[@lukesm5747]

@@Studat you have never had a falcon in your life dont lie

[@mostlypostie1]

That's a disgraceful review of that car. It has 6 pot brembos yet the brakes are no good???. You lot at Motor are getting paid way to much by Holden. Luff especially. Nice work wearing you Holden shirt to this review. You're a dead set knob.

[@timlowe9069]

he is also the first person to pick on the zf gearbox, what a spastic

[@MrVice123456]

MostlyPostie ha ha because the Holden shits all over it that's why!

[@mostlypostie1]

MrVice123456 lol right. You would know because you have driven one? Nope. Back to your VS commodore champ... Perhaps whack a Chev badge on it while you are there...

[@MrVice123456]

MostlyPostie Great assumptions there bud. Happy owner of a VF2 SS. Yes I have driven the XR6 - the interior is like a taxi cab. It hasn't changed in almost 10 years! Ford really squeezed the lemon dry with the Falcon.

[@shanebujnowicz3356]

holden has the better interior but power the sprints eat the ls3s for breakky

[@ur2slob724]

6 pot brembo no good, zf gearbox no good Bahaha what a tool

[@joelbibleman9648]

I too saw this as in many other comments: Luff V8 supercar driver is reviewing Falcon wearing Holden clothing, says it all!!!!!!! Like to see the Falcon Sprint in a drag race V a Holden V8 supercar.

[@johnsbackwithcommonsense7628]

I needed that yob with the Holden jacket to tell me about the Sprint.

[@shanebujnowicz3356]

ford fans.did their.own testing with the same press cars they achieved 0-100 4.5 in the 6 and 4.6 in the 8

[@ShiftRGaming]

"Over slowing the corner and can't put it up" Bullcrap

[@smartey2612]

This review is just completely unbelievable. It’s Ford Australia’s quickest car and u just disown it like that. So typical of Motor to do such a thing. There filled with Holden fanboys. I thought this thing got 2016 performance car of the year for Australia on a certain website. Plus Why just why would u let a Holden V8 Supercar driver drive a beast like this thing. U know what here’s my honest review about the Ford Falcon FG X XR6 Sprint. It’ll eat a XY GT-HO, it’ll trash a GT-F and the car has amazing details seen on no other Falcon before it such as the a pillars in the interior have a different material compared to the plastic ones on previous models, the foglight surrounds stand out a little bit more from the body then the other FG Xs and they have an inlet for air into the intercooler piping in the surround, there’s a different inner cover for the foglight, they’ve blacked out the grill surroundings on the front to make it look more modern, it’s got a unique little 6 sticker strip at the back of the car which has never been done on a Falcon before it, the chrome panel on the back of the car has changed to the body colour making it look more nicer, they used different tyres which I like only when the tires get hot cause they grip like no tomorrow when there hot, the seats are different compared to other Falcons but semi remind me of the XE ESP interior, the headlight surrounds are blacked out to make it even look angrier, the Brembos are finally a different colour, it’s got a retuned engine combining F6 and XR6 Turbo into one with overboost of 370 KWs! for 10 seconds per each gear shift plus the 1st gear is limited to a certain amount of kws so the car doesn’t go into crazy wheelspin, the gears have been remapped, the exhaust note is unique although they were on previous inline 6 turbo models this one sounds a bit different, it’s got a carbon fibre air intake and the suspension has been returned to make it perfect for handling. Ignore Motor with there review of the 6 Sprint, this is a fantastic car and I recommend you buy it without a singular doubt in the back of your mind. I’ve still missed out on mentioning other things too. If I wasn’t restricted to the comments section I could probably go on forever since theres a lot to talk about on the 6 Sprint. I’d be determined to even make a video on how awesome the Sprint 6 but that’s If we would have one though... I have been in a Sprint 6 before and wow does it make you speechless.

[@chabobox1]

They're so biased, they literally picked on everything.

[@johno121o]

A reviewer is wearing a holden vest. Are you kidding me for biasedness?

[@blumie006]

These blokes are off their head it's the best car Aus has made

[@andygee5972]

Pointless review. Enough said!

[@ZoneTwelveOnline]

Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.

This review is biased

[@Studat]

review is fair, it's is an average car with a great engine

[@lukesm5747]

[@Jim-we6mn]

Just bought one

[@rabidsminions2079]

Hell its $54990 what do you expect? You wally's Its cheaper than a 135 kw C200 sedan. Engines great but, but, but, but. 6 months later gee I wish they still made the xr6t. Maybe if they did this maybe if they did that. Maybe if we had testers who said how awesomly fast it is its not a Ferrari its $54,990 again what do you expect for the money? Boof heads fair dinkum.

[@rwac07]

Agree with what you're saying but comparing it with the Merc is an invalid argument. Two completely different categories.

[@MrTarrZZann]

Every review I've seen by "Motor" of the XR6 or XR8 bag the crap out of them. If you're going to wear Holden jackets for a Ford review you can't expect the audience to consider your view unbiased.

[@lukaspallerz5926]

I just want one 😒

[@papa_pt]

Tires too thin

[@kornstargaming7245]

Watching this in 2024 is a trip, the review is obviously bias. Its only looking back now that we will never get a car as good as the Sprint 6 (or 8). No wonder Motor, wheels etc once held in high regard relics of 'paid' motor journalist do we now see you can't trust them. No named KZbinrs are more trustworthy then the lot of them.

[@coopsnz1]

For the price blame unions , nothing's good value anymore

[@dannywelsh9321]

Ford butthurtz cant handle the truth

[@SkiRacingOz]

Why is it that this is the only review that is like this, you say we can’t handle the truth but it’s more likely that a one review out of many is negative and also happens to have a fucking Holden supercar driver in it

Hey luffy its a road car not a race car

That's one ugly plain looking car. Engine a win but that's it. The slower SSV destroys this around a track and by a lot.

Are your eyes PAINTED on to your face? FGX is the best looking aggressive Falcon ever!

Brian Howard agreed mate, it looks so angry!

How do people call the FG X ugly, it looks better then the FG Falcons yet people say that it's ugly and I've heard people say the FG Falcon looks newer.

@@brianhoward9217 looks like a taxi, not aggressive 1 bit. Not to mention it's shity suspension and handling. Its all in this video.
