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.

These late MK4 Mondeos do look rather nice in high spec form like this. Bet it goes pretty well too.

Really smart motor, don't see many estate mondeos about, especially a spec'd one.
