Personally I use a Focus ST for my daily 30-odd mile commute but I do like the look of the Mondeo ST's and with a little time and attention they can be made extremely nice. Not heard many complaints about them tbh. Go for it mate

If its an ST TDCi it wont have Recaros as standard, only 220 standard fit. May have been retrofitted or its the half leather.

Search for the abundance of DMF, injector, EGR etc issues that come with the diesels, they can be costly if havent been done, may be cheaper to run a 220 in the long run.

As an allround car, excellent imo, never expected such a big car to drive so well and feel comfortable in long runs.

What mileage? Check out Mondeo STOC.

I have an 06 plate and I love it.

Just fitted LED side lights, puddle lights, reg lamp bulbs, ordered eibach pro springs and 20 mm spacers. I am keeping an eye out for a set of recaros but not found any that meet my standard yet.
