Are Mondeo's any good? wife wants one.

[jaydee]

I know nothing about Mondeo's, are they made locally, whats the motors like, are they OK. Are the 6 speed autos Ok or is it continually hunting for gears because it has so many to choose from
Spotted a 07 MA LX with 9000 kays, the pics of the interior are OK but the seats look like they're out of a base model Pulsar.
I was impressed with all the safety features listed.
How many models are there, not looking at diesel or turbo.
What are the upgrades, anything I should stay away from or look at?
Any help or info appreciated?
