What Ford XR6 is better, EF OR EL? I've been looking at both models and I can easily say that the EF's go a lot cheaper but I herd about the EF models having an oversteer problem. Is this oversteer problem livable or should I search harder and pay the extra and get an EL? Are there any other major differences?

To some an oversteer problem isn't a bad thing.
Seriously though, what a load of shit I have never heard of that problem.
EL is definitely a better car than the EF though.

The oversteer issue is common in reviews from when the car was new.
Things off the top of my head in EL (GLi) are standard passenger airbag; 2mm thicker safety glass; EF XR rear end setup; and back to a single coil.
Sunny could list every single detail lol.
They're so cheap to upgrade just get whichever one you like the look of more.

ELs may have been a lot more expensive than EFs 15 years ago, but not these days.
My EF (GLi) wagon never had an oversteer problem
I'd search harder anyway.

Much of a muchness nowadays.
Buy whichever you prefer the drive of. It's not like you see EF's oversteering off the road all the time (no more than EL's)
