There is the zafira vxr that contends with the smax 2.5, it’s a shame the smax didn’t come with a kind of sport bodykit, as that’s what sets the zafira apart.

the Mondeo 2.5 would do 39mpg at a push so wasn’t that bad on fuel, there is some differences between the Mondeo and focus engine, I don’t know why the focus gets such low mpg though.
