I think they are superb for a mondy. Pleanty of smooth power, comfy ride, awsome sound. I can get about 27-28 mpg on a run. There fully loaded inside aswell, air con, climate etc. Never had any problams with mine but have heard the earlier models are prone to water pump failure, being made of plastic internals, replacements being metal items. Fsh is a must in my opinion and just do the normal hpi check as you would normally do, and go from there.
