Default First Fast Ford - Mondeo Ecoboost 240

New here, so be gentle. For the past 8 years I've had a number of company cars, all the usual boring diesel rep cars. Prior to that I'd had a few quick cars, mk1 Clio 172 and a GTI-6 which I loved. So when I got offered a new job which happened to have an excellent opt out scheme, I went on the hunt for something to fulfil a lot of needs.

I've a growing family, so it needed to be a big estate.
It needed to be respectable but not flash for business meetings.
It needed to be fast, minimum 200bhp, petrol.
Finally I wanted something relatively new, with a warranty.

So I firstly looked at a Skoda Superb DSG 200bhp, but it sold before I could properly consider it. Then started looking at Octavia VRS Estates, but interiors are boring and they're a bit common. So I looked into Mondeo, as I had a diesel as a company car previous and liked it. Found a fair few 200bhp Ecoboost Estates but chanced upon a 240bhp 2012 model, which has turned out to be extremely rare.

I've had it about 5 week now and absolutely love it. Ex-motability car with full service history, including the important wet clutch gearbox oil/filter change. Solid Ice White paint which flips from white to blue depending on lighting. New P-Zero tyres all round, 12 month warranty and just been serviced. There isn't a single mark anywhere, inside or out.
