Ford falcons and barra engines we're the mainstay of the Australian taxi fleet, quite common for these engines to exceed 1 million kilometres as a taxi.

The Barra is a really impressive puller when vehicle is hitched to trailer. Fuel economy is great and it pulls like a busload of schoolboys.

I am from the USA, moved to AUS in 2004. I have owned many cars over my lifetime, Trans Am, Z28, Impala, some Japanese, my favorite was the XR6 Turbo I owned for 7 years. This engine is so easy to get power out of. They sound amazing as well.

They're definitely an awesome engine, I'm currently pushing about 1100hp at the crank with an engine that cost under $7000 Australian to build, and it's been going since early 2014

The Barra is definitely up there with the “best” 6 cylinders. They are very popular here in Australia.

I have to agree as I own one of them. The FG FPV F6. That’s it in my profile pic. It’s a BEAST 😂

Not only they the best inline 6 in the world because they can do amazing things with the power they put out but they can easily do a 1 million km without skipping a beat

I have a Barra from 2006, had it now for seven years, in a Falcon wagon, just gone past 400,000kms (250,000 miles). Great engine! Good horsepower and miles of torque. Love it. :)
