Default Thinking of getting an F6

As the title says. Seriously contemplating getting an F6. I love my STi and it is easily the best car I've ever had, but with a baby, I just don't use it. In fact I had it on a battery trickle feed charger for awhile. Its just not practical as a 'family' car. So I was looking around at something that can easily carry the pram and all his gear, be comfortable & quiet, but still has superb grunt when you want it.

I'm a Holden man, but all the reviews I've read place the F6 as one of the best muscle/performance cars that Oz has ever built.

My biggest fear though is the build quality of the Fords. Should I be worried about this?

It would be an auto, in white with black rims.

Any comments?

Cheers
Zombee

2008+ GTs look awsome and I have heard good things about them...Imagine F6s are same same....I've always been into Holdens but the new Fords are pretty tidy I reckon. Almost bought one instead of the STi not long back
