Default '03+ XR6 a good choice?

I've been looking around for a new (to me) car for ages now and after originally looking for a decent small-ish car (difficult) I've found it much easier to find a larger car that meets all of the criteria I'm after:

* smaller than my current car, a Mitsubishi Verada
* uses less petrol than my current car, a horrible 20L/100km in town by my own calculations
* at least as comfortable as the Verada
* four seats
* four doors
* FUN!

I'm also surprised at how easy it is to find a newish XR6 (2003+) with low km's and a decent price tag, even from a Ford dealer.

So, is the XR6 a decent choice or is there another car I should be looking at? I've looked at Suburu Impreza's but I just can't bring myself to like them.

My main concern at the moment is the reliability problems that might pop up with a BA XR6.

Price-wise: my upper limit is $28k with most of the XR6's coming in considerably less than that (23k+).

Apologies if this is the wrong section for this post. It seemed like the most likely to me.

Oh! and hi!
