I had no choice in the car i drive, no one would but a new large french saloon.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Big, french, probably fall apart.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, trim very cheap, rattles, only 5 speed gearbox (not seen this in a while on a large diesel car) seats too soft, covers very loose on front seats. Radio a nightmare to use, ipod navigation and phone use is so difficult.

Any other car in this segment, would like the new Mondeo if ford ever release it, been out in the states for over 2 years.
