Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 130 Ghia Est

Bought my Ford Mondeo as an ex-company car with high mileage, very cheap to buy but depreciation continues at an alarming rate. Excellent drive and considering how quick it is, it's very economical - computer reports 61mpg at a constant 80mph. Around town, 42-45mpg seems to be the norm.

Space is plenty, to the point of excessive.

On the downside, reversing can be a little tricky in tight spots unless you use mirrors as well.

DIY maintenance - forget it.

Aftermarket towbars seem a bit of a pain to fit as the bumper has to be cut (not visible) to allow fitting.
