nice big car plenty of torque! a bit cr4p round town as they dont really get moving til about 3000 rpm but there awesome on the motorways and are good for 125mph easily!

and they have a really good stereo set up as standard! can turn the bass right up and the speakers handle it even on top volume!
makes the mirrors shake a bit though

if its a good price go for it!

Nice cars suppose, good in every way which is it's downfall with it's rep image and big loss of money quickly.

Mondeos seem to carry a bit of a stigma for being old manish & rep mobile

There fine for simple transportation I wouldnt mod one though

What about putting some 19" Alloys on - Preferrably KAHN RS-C's (5-spoke which flare out at the outer edge) on it? N possibly tint the windows.

Car is in Platinum silver (Champagne/Silver colour)

Theyr'e very good cars, and good value for money considering the depriation they suffer.

As for it being too much of an "old mans car" thats just silly IMO - you can own any car you like as long as you feel comfortable with it, and like it.

Seem to be quite well equipped and spacious etc. Up to you though really - if you like it, then go for it!

Sorry if any offence caused Rich, but all Mundanos are terribly terribly bad and boring.

To think Ford stopped production of the Sapphire Cossie and the best thing they could come up with was the tedium-mobile.

Apologies for rant and abuse.
