i have ha vauxhalls and volvos befor my mondeo it was my first ford since driving my 1989 ford orion into the ground since i passed my test 15 years ago.
the best car of all i have owned.yes i know the thing drinks petrol i get around 23-24mpg in urban but on long motorway cruises i get 37-40mpg.not bad compared to other cars this size.
fits me (im big lad)the misus,7 year old and baby 1 year old and a large stupid silver cross pram the misus wanted.You can drive at a sedate 20mph or rip it through france at 140mph.would recomend it to anybody.
ford has bought volvo so i am expecting the next st to have a turbod 2.5.i will not buy one if all it is is a volvo .the new focus st is a volvo and you hear everbody raving about them.
The focus has a low pressure turbo developing 225 if you get a volvo T5 it has the high pressure turbo with 250bhp.this car keeps up with the full blown T5's of the world.Little pin dic*s in there saxos and rs turbo and corsas and gsi's dont expect me to keep up with them with the 7 year old sticking the bird up when we over take on the slip road.a great bit of kit and the noise from the V6 will keep you happy for years.spend ya money i did.
