Hey guys, another newbie from Sidders. Got myself an atlantic blue MY06 3.0RB a bit over a month ago. Stock plus spoiler. Am finding it to be pretty good fun.

Worst part about it (and probably 1 of the only 2 negatives I have found to date) is the crap Nangkang tyres the previous fleet owner put on it. Horrible things they are. In the process of working out what to replace them with - bloody hard finding top notch 215/45R18's

Other than that, I love the purr from the engine (could be a touch louder but it's also unobtrusive when carting others around in it), the ride is a lot better than any of the reviews gave it credit for, fuel economy has been pretty good for me too (averaging under 11l/100km in town but with no A/C), really like the interior, I could go on.

Handles pretty good too. On a run up to Garland Valley and back (first run out of town) I worked out that (for me) it is best to corner with at least a touch of throttle to give me the stability and confidence I need - first decent car, have been previously on bikes. Found that it is neutral to slightly oversteery with a closed throttle at speed. Will need some more experience with it. Also need some more time to get completely comfortable with the box (4th often the result of a 3-2 change and likewise ending up in 6th on a 5-4 change)

Anyway, I'll be lurking around a bit. Look forward to learning more about the car

Cheers,
