A great Falcon, the 2013 Falcon FG XT turbo.

What you’re getting for that price is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 179kW at a low-ish 5500rpm, and 353Nm at a very low 2500rpm. Forget the cylinder count, because the 3.0-litre non-turbo V6 in the Holden Commodore Omega needs 2900rpm showing on the tachometer to deliver just 290Nm.

Ford hasn’t just dropped two cylinders, however. Adding extra sound-deadening on the firewall means that the turbo-four doesn’t sound weedy and thrashy; it’s quieter than a Commodore V6 or Falcon 4.0-litre six-cylinder, revs harder and sounds nicer than either of them, yet slurps less juice – just to cement its dominance.

While the economy claim for the Ford Falcon EcoBoost is 8.5L/100km combined, compared with 9.9L/100km for the six-cylinder and 8.9L/100km for the Commodore Omega, ( 10L/100km on test in mixed conditions).

Not bad for a car that powers to 100km/h in less than seven seconds, around half a second quicker than Falcon with its heavy six-cylinder, and a full tick of the timepiece before the torque-deprived Holden V6.

But a smaller engine also makes for a lighter engine, and less weight on the Falcon’s nose means the EcoBoost is the best-handling model to ever wear the badge – and that includes the under-damped and heavy FPV models.

The Ford Falcon XT EcoBoost turns into corners with verve and can really be pushed along on the throttle until the humble GoodYear 16-inch rubber starts to howl. Its steering precision and chassis dynamics are outstanding.

There’s no need to plaster an Australian flag tattoo on your arm to say that this Falcon’s dynamics are truly world class, equal or better than the similarly-sized BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, both of which also get turbo fours up front in base form.

In every way, from seat comfort (superb), to cabin room (better than any compact SUV), to air conditioning performance (far superior to the Honda CR-V and Peugeot 208 recently tested), and even right down to the inclusion of rear seat air vents – the Volkswagen Tiguan and Renault Koleos are, astonishingly, only two of a dozen compact SUVs that include rear coolers – the Falcon is unbeatable.

Likewise with ride comfort. The Falcon’s standard dampers and sensibly chubby (and cheap to replace) rubber are a reminder of how needlessly complicated ‘premium’ cars have become.

The XT EcoBoost rides brilliantly, soothing around town, erasing country road lumps.

But the fact is the current generation Falcon XT EcoBoost is fast, frugal, roomy, comfortable, with a winning trifecta of superb steering, ride and handling. It’s simply better than any compact SUV and almost every mid-sized sedan.
