BA's sold very well with allot of different models. Still a nice looking car and the interiors were done well. You don't have to use touch screen like modern cars. If looked after they still drive really good especially on long trips.

The XR6T was popular for straight line speed and mods. The turbo six was a very interesting motor. I wonder how it compares to BMW turbo six (I haven't driven one)?
