When I was looking, it was mostly at the MC, and the pov pack interior was just nasty.
But the MD looks a lot better, and was better equipt.
If you are able to stretch to a later model, FoA actually cut the other trim levels, and added extra features to the base Ambiente.

It will also ride on new 17-inch alloy wheels as standard.

Depends on your driving style
Basically it is the same engine, although the Mondeo versions were generally more powerful.
Personally I find the low-end torque of the diesel to be a good compromise.
The car I drive most at the moment is a heavyish SUV with a woefully small TD. If you're looking to win any traffic-light drags, then this aint the car for it.
On the other hand, it will cruise at 100kph, pulling 1,500rpm in 6th gear, and using 3L/100km
