I do nurse it and look after it though! She only gets BP Ultimate diesel, always gets well branded oil (I've dropped down to 0w30 for extra protection when it's cold) which I replace regularly! I don't thrash it when it's cold, keeps the revs above 2k to protect the DMF etc etc.
But when it's hot, I'm on a nice road on a nice day she does get an absolute bootfull! It's not fast by anymeans but she goes pretty well and handles superbly. Which puts a big smile on my face!
I can't fault it! As much as I'd love a concours car with no miles on it I need a car to get back and fore work. Unfortunatly my car is a tool and my Mondeo is a damm good tool at that!
I had one of these which was company car, without a doubt the best daily driver I have ever had, had 100k on the clock when I had to change it as the lease was up and drove as good as the day it was new , fantastic car and I have had a few equivalent cars ie insignia,avenis etc
