 The Centura had much more interior room and boot space than these main rivals, along with a more favorable power-to-weight ratio.Centuras were also seen to compete to a lesser extent with larger-bodied Australian Holdens, Chrysler Valiants (including the sporting Charger coupe) and Ford Falcons.Most competitors, although often lacking the fierce acceleration of the six-cylinder Centura, proved less rust-prone and generally had more modern styling.
