Hey guys.
I have my heart set on a EF XR6 Sedan. And after driving a couple its just made me want one more. But here is the thing. The back seat only really gets used twice a year. I have a back passenger probably 3-4 times a year. Back seats never get used? So i could get a ute. Could put junk in the back blah blah blah. Selling my dirtbike so i dont need one that much anymore all though i am looking at buying a road bike. So maybe a ute? Im just really confused. What do you guys think. Feel free to ask me more questions about what i do in life if you need to, to give me an answer. Thanks!

If your thinking of a ute from the same era keep in mind that the XG/XH were based a design in 1979 that had some new technology pumped in it. I'd go the sedan route- you can always buy a cheap trailer for your bikes!

If you have your heart set on sedan then get one, otherwise every time you drive past a EF XR6 sedan in your favorite color deep down you will think i wish i had that. And then a angel will die.
 : But seriously if you have your heart set on the sedan then get it otherwise you will always regret it. I know i would have saved myself about $8 grand if i hadn't bought a N/A XR6 then traded it 18 months later on the XR6 Turbo i knew i wanted the whole time. |

Utes are cool, but where do you put your grocery shopping? and if your tall theres not enough room, and the front suspension is from the 70's. I bought a ute coz I liked them, but now I don't.
I like the look of them, but dont like driving one. |

Applogies for being a bit self serving but why don't you get a ute with a locking lid and 3 seats like the one i'm selling. Link attached

In the XH, what room? They only just got the seats in there! Quote:
In the XH, stuff all. I've always had a ute, and wouldn't have it any other way. Buy whatever you want! If you want a ute, buy a ute. If you want a sedan, buy a sedan. Thor_ you're not stuck with the one car for life remember. If you buy a sedan and it doesn't suit, then sell it and get a ute. Cheers Darran

if you are selling your dirt bike and thinking of getting a road bike get a sedan. if you have a roadbike you can ride it on the road you dont need a ute or trailer to get it around.
and as has been said. you will be happier with the sedan. |
