Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing really. I bought it purely for it's practicality.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Most people like it, but my wife thinks the car is too big.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Probably not. If I were to buy another Mondeo it would probably be a 2ltr diesel again. I drive quite carefully but I cannot achieve anything like the mpg I expected to get given the official mpg figures. In fact, the 2ltr diesel I owned previously was slightly more economical in my hands. However, the cheap VED is a factor, but I certainly would not buy the Ecoboost version for the fuel economy alone. It has been a disappointment in that regard.
What are you likely to buy next?
I don't know until the time comes.

No

£14,000

Did you get a good deal and why?
I felt I got a reasonable deal in as much as I thought I got a decent trade in price for my 4 year old 2ltr diesel Mondeo.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Owned Mondeos previously and liked them and bought the Eco car for alleged improved economy.

Very helpful.
