Good Points
Even bigger and roomier than my old mond.
6 speed - great for motorway cruising. 70mph sees 1900rpm!!!!!!
Stereo controls on steering wheel! Cool!
Rear head retraints and rear arm rest.
Elec windows all round and electric operated wing mirrors.
Extendable passenger cup holder - nice!
Great torquey engine. Pulls and pulls. Wow!
Bad Points
Steering a lot heavier than my previous MkII mondeo. MIght be the heavier engine!!!
The front alloys have pitted slightly.
Noisy at start up, takes longer to warm up to optimum temprature compared to my petrol Mond (What is the reason for this???)
Apart from that, absolutely nothing. Great car!
