Hiya!
Nice car! I was ready to sign the contract on the XR5 (I was prepared to overlook the Ford badge!) -I testdrove it 4 times! ...but then, on a whim, I test drove the MPS3 and was sold.
I really like the XR5 look! The wheels are sooo horny. The interior I thought, was pretty good. The dash I loved! But...One major thing that put me off of buying it, and you will all laugh (maybe it's a girl thing, I dunno?!) was the bloody CUPHOLDERS! I HATE THEM! They are soo the wrong size and not deep enough! Oh, and the keyless ignition, IMO, sucks. The ride itself was fun!
Anywayz, would love to see some pix one day!
Cheers![]()
Bought the XR5 after owning a Astra SRi, which has no cupholders, so no worries there.
I like the keyless ignition, I get to keep the key in my pocket, and eventhough it's a gimmick I still like it.
But seeing as you're a girl, I can understand the choice of the MPS.![]()
NASTY BOI!
Those are fighting words! Hhmm...boys n gimmicks *rolls eyes*
Just joking...
However gimmicks are cool, and I have no self-control when it gets to gadgets.

Sorry boys, next time PM me a little earlier. Had permission from the wife and then we changed our plans because we didn't hear anything.
Will get the old guy onto it, and catch up soon.
