Well the Mondeo petrol is not the best fuel economy I admit, but at least its not a muscle car or 4WD in a city with high petrol prices.

I have nothing against guys on this forum who like performace cars, but you have to remember that there are other requirements for customers out there that determine how and why they buy a vechicle.

I'm with you RicOz. I got the Mondeo because I wanted something different to the BA Futura I had for work, and thought the diesel was the best option. FWD V. RWD didn't even enter into my thoughts.

I also knew that I had a child on the way, and the car needed to be easy to get stuff into and out of, so the hatch ticked the right boxes for me. A sedan is good, but the wide opening was a selling point for me. It had the full range of airbags, and lots of stuff as standard.

I also thought I was going to do a lot of miles in the car, so I specced it right up. And I do love the car, we've had our arguments and tiffs, but it does every thing I want.

I've been looking at alternatives, and the Titanium wagon is looking like the upgrade in January for me. I just hope I can get one!
