The Mondeo :)

[Bailes1992]

I'm getting 62mpg on a 65mph cruise which is about 1700rpm and it will pull from 1400rpm all the way to 4500rpm.

I also went for the 1.8 for reliablility reasons. There seems to be very few issues with EGRs, DPFs, Turbos, DMFs when you compare them with the PSA engines.

Most of them on Autotrader and eBay seem to be the 1.8, must be the most popular, which is understandable from the numbers.

I am totally smitten with this car.
It feels like allot more than a 'Ford Mondeo'. Feels posh, feels solid and feels very upmarket.

good luck with the new car Sam
thats some motor for a young lad like yourself. well done for achieving it

Beeing cheecky and nosey, and feel free to tel me to mind my own, but how does the insurance compare with the 406?

And it looks a lovelly car. I was looking at the estate version the other week, very nice.

406... £2165
Mondeo... £1135

So this year, I'm already a grand up... That technically means the car cost me £1000 less

[Busman]

Now, that does seem wierd to me. You've gone from a HDI90 to a much quicker Mondeo, and it's a grand a year less to insure? The logic of this totaly escapes me!

[Matt]

that a nice car! i've been tempted to get one of them myself, nice spec and looks great mate

[Doggy]

Very nice, Sam.

Now you've finally got something to polish & admire, rather than fret over.

Remember my first, 'decent' car - a mk1 Triumph 2000 - I was like a dog with two tails. Enjoy.

Ahhh, nostalga isn't what it used to be.

Last week I got just 38mpg out of it but I was still getting used to it and done a few short journeys.

Came back from Dai's yesterday, reset the computer and set cruise at 60mph down the A470 and down the M4.
Computer not says 61.4mpg

[Welly]

I like

Looks in very fine condition with 98K miles, even the steering wheel and pedals still look new

That seems a good buy that, especially with the insurance saving

You can't take away the feeling of owning and driving something you've worked hard for and you can't really put a price on it either. Well done Bailes
