Drives very well, but still think the cost is too big for a ford of any ability, quality etc, compared to its german brothers and their associated snob value

Yer, 2.2 TDCi

Look at Audi's in the same price range and they were all at least 3 years older, loads of miles and basic spec

oh yeah you're right and the ford is the best buy really when you take into cosideration servicing and stuff aswell as it'sa nearly brand new car with bugger all milage, it's just hard to get over the Ł15k for a ford mondeo when theres nicer cars to be had for that kinda money, even if they are a few years older-more mileage.

i think you can get e39 m5's for that kinda money, not my kinda car but still a big comfy car for the money.

& a m5 will be more of a hit with a ladies

well, you've helped me make my mind up Tiff...

its a 54 plate ST TDCi or Ghia X 2.2 TDCi estate (same engine obviously) with 10k miles, or a 02 plate BMW 530d Touring with 80k for the same money......


oh, and some people on here buy cars for some very, VERY sad reasons
