Positive SPIN on the Falcon

[PG2]

With all of the negative stuff that we have been reading I thought that I would start a thread that reminds us (for some of us probably points out) the positive aspects of owning a Ford Falcon. This thread specifically puts forward all of the positive aspects of the FG Falcon sedan over some of its competitors. I thought that I would post up some specification comparisons and put a POSITIVE spin on them (yes, I am an ex car salesperson – 12 years with Ford). If this type of thread has been done before, then please delete.

Please don’t reply with something like, “Yeah but the Falcon does not have……” That is not the point of this thread.

I want to make it clear that I am not bagging other models just comparing them and pointing out the positive aspects of the Falcon. It goes without saying, ALL of the models WILL have advantages over the Falcon - to think otherwise would be foolish.

So here goes……

Ecoboost Falcon vs Forester
The Falcon has approximately 42% more power (179kW vs 126kW).

The Falcon has approximately 50% more torque (353Nm vs 235Nm). Also the max torque of the Falcon is at 2000 rpm and the max torque of the Forester is at 4100 rpm. When was the last time you drove your car (constantly) at 4100 rpm?

Despite the Falcon having approximately 42% more power and approximately 50% more torque the Falcon uses exactly the same amount of fuel.

The Falcon also has a larger fuel tank resulting in approximately an extra 100k out of a tank of fuel (840k vs 741k).

The Falcon has approximately 27% more luggage/boot capacity (535L vs 422L).

The Falcon has all of the same safety features that the Forester has – 6 air bags, ABS, EBA, DSC etc

I am also currently researching whether the Forester has some of the following features that the Falcon has such as; Fail Safe Cooling, Grade Control Logic (plus many more).

I have other comparisons to other vehicles and I will post these up in time.

Please add to this if you want to. However please don’t just say for example – it has more console storage space – back it up with some facts and figures.
