YEs would sefinitely buy the new Mondeo if I had the cash, but woyuld go for diesel as the it slurps alot of petrol.

Excellent price and specifications.

Lovely to drive, hardly any body roll though corners. All the reviews I had read about Mondeo's excellent driving are fully justified.

Probably the worst part about owning this car is that reversing is difficult due to large rear pillars and big rear end. The wing mirrors are also tiny making it difficult to judge walls etc when using these to help reverse.

Back windscreen leaked on day 1 but quickly rectified through dealer.

Radio/CD controls on steering column are used very regularly and are well designed.
