Summary
What does this car say about you?
I am not sure really. I will always pay more for quality, but did not feel the need to buy a Audi, VW, Lexu, Mercedes or BMW when confronted with this Mondeo.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Very good looking (someone said it looks like a baby Jaguar/XF/Aston Martin), comfortable and full of technology.
Would you buy this car again and why?
YES without hesitation.
What are you likely to buy next?
This Mondeo is staying for a good few years. However, our other car (Mk4 Astra) will be replaced by a Kuga or new Fiesta based on their looks and our pleasant experiences with this Mondeo.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Power delivery is so smooth it almost feels slow! Brakes are superb, steering lovely. Ride still good with Sports pack. Average 41-43 mpg around town and 50-55 mpg on a long run. Is great to drive and knocks mileage off with ease, yet I find it perfectly acceptable driving around town.
What's it like to park?
Piece of cake, I came from a Navara and Ranger, so its 50cm shorter, has front/rear park sensors and a good turning circle for its size.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No.
What's most practical about your car?
Big and comfy, yet agile and easy to drive.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Pop up booster seats in the rear seats, DVD sat-nav and adaptive headlights.
