2.4 miles - wtf walk you lazy cunt.

I work 7 miles away and i thought that was well close hence buying another 3dr - but i will prob leave before i get that car on the road anyway

you had that nissan for ages - i thought with all the asians in slough it would sell easy.

apparently the engines in them aren't the same as those found in the mondeo V6's

my cousins got one and it's a nice car, a bit of a squeeze in the back for 2 adults but it's got a massive boot and it goes well enough for the size of the thing

car parking dings are the biggest problem as the doors are not only stupendously long, but there aren't any bump strips on it either, and parts are a bit pricey

get one with the options and it's a nice "jap" style car

The engine is exactly the same as the standard V6 Mondeo so 167bhp. The main things to look out for are the waterpumps and the wishbones on the front. The front wishbones are shared with the ST200 and are a Ford only part at £130 each!!!!!
