Despite toe dirt, we were cracking along at 60 m.p.h. and the ride w«s one of the best and most comfortable we've experienced as rear passengers.

"The over-all impression on dirt roads (ours werp probably as nasty as you'll find) is still one of. safety, extremely good passenger comfort, driving, ease and adequate' performance . . . "The X 6 has incredible body rigidity and this helps its rough road ability quite apart- from the associated, safety -factors. With 14,000 Ib/ft per torsional degree' strength In the cabin section, this body is. claimed to be ..the strongest in the world . . . this torsional strength makes the car one of the.-safest on our roads, with the side benefits of reduced noise, better stability, reduced risk of -door clatter and body fatigue. "Take the X 6 on. to the fast highways and you find that these points (comfort, handling, ride, driver ease) all* contribute greatly to a very good long, range family touring car., -progressive efficient power disc/drum brakes, rack and pinion steering, excellent vision (no quarter vents), radial tyres arid impressive, torque curve completes the cars touring capabilities. "We scooted the Kimberley 300 miles in 5$ nbn-stop and tireless hours. The further ,we went,, the more impressed we were.
