ASHBURTON AUSTIN KIMBERLEY X 6 AND TASMAN X 6 FROM THE ROAD TE§T BY “WHEELS” (AUSTRALIA'S TOP MOTORING MAGAZINE) ". . . the car snaked over 80 miles of twitting, pitching dirt roads in the southern NSW ranges. 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 feeling is total relaxation: perfect insulation from the road conditions, plenty of robm to sprawl into whichever position you like while still held securely by the rear seat belts and supported by arm rests bot)i on the doors and in the centre of the seat . . . "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.
