Does anyone know if this is a good car? I just got it from ticket level 21, but I've backup saved with my ticket, any advices?!? Should I keep it or try my luck on ticket?

Thank you guys.

i kept it... most of other lvl 21 cars @ ucd, but never seen ford falcon...
 
It really depends on a few things.

It is, unfortunately, a Standard car (but so are 800 others).

It's the only Australian made Ford in the game since the two FPV's got left out of GT5 (I'm still pee'd off over this :grumpy:).

Almost any Aussie/Kiwi playing GT5 want it if they don't already have it (I get asked for it at least once everytime I take it online). It might be worth trading for something MUCH more expensive if you look at it that way.

It is comparable to DTM/JGTC. I have a lot of fun with it in Touring Car Only rooms. You don't see it much so I spend probably 80% of online with this one car.

I visit the UCD ALL THE TIME and the first time I saw it I didn't have the levels/credits. Second time I grabbed it. I haven't seen it again in over a month.

I'm a little biased, being an Aussie, but I hope that helps.

You could always give it some test drives then go back to the backup save.
 
Thanks Watto, kept it, really good to drive.
 
Good to hear 👍

Any completionist will need it for their garage anyway :sly: I'm starting to get serious on the collecting now, only up to 460.:scared:
 
It is one of the elusive 20 cars that I have yet to find. :(
 
Its actually a great car to drive very neutral handling and fairly fast, took it for a run online at indy with TC banned people were sliding all over the place and the falcon was gripping and overtaking much faster cars.

If I spot it again in UCD, I'll buy it and give you a yell.
 
I bought one yesterday, not only because it is the only FORD AU car, but also because I just love touring cars. I was very surprised by the feel and sound of the car. It's a real blast to drive the Falcon!!
One thing I know for sure, I'm not giving that car away anymore :)
 
Dunno what's it's like to drive as I haven't got one, but you'll definitely be able to trade it for something good.

Search for 'Falcon' or 'XR8' in the Marketplace and see how many wanted threads come up, that should give you an indication
 
Just came up in the UCD again so I grabbed it if anyone needs it. BKViper, you still need it?

I have two. I bought one in UCD and received in lvl 21 ticket.

You interested in trading?
