Talking Finally got myself an XR4

Hey all,

Finally traded in the ol' wp zetec on an 07 wq xr4

MASSIVE difference between the two! I was shocked at the jump in performance and just in general -- for the money they must be one of the best cars going today imo.

Anyway, heres a couple of pics from the day I picked it up, she needs a wash already! Havent stopped driving it since i got it!

Very nice. They are good value for money. White with the blue stripes is a good combination and looks great.

keep a listen out for a ticking or knocking sound on cold start up. A mate of mine is the workshop foreman at a dealership and has told me that they are having problems with some of the XR4's and possible piston slap, maybe a crook batch.... I will post up if I hear any more on this.
