Bargain if you buy second hand. Picked mine up for £10,000 with 23,000 on the clock.
Costs
High insurance and thirst overcome cheap price.

On the road
Driving
Brilliant fun, but weight hinders on twisty bits when you press on a bit.
Performance
Weight hinders v6 power a bit, could do with a few more horses. My old 2001 2 litre was nearly as quick, but didn't have the purr of the v6.

Reliability
No problems so far, but rear subframes are common, as are handbrake cables and rear calipers.
Image
Bodykit adds subtle sportiness to the over exposed Mondeo appearance.
Comfort
Quiet motorway cruiser, effortless to drive.
