Yawn, boring 3 series and wheels look to small, not a fan. Your Mondeo is more interesting.

Only reason it's 'boring' is cause it's commong. There's a reason it's common.

Fathers car, not mine. Give it a week and he might let me start driving it :lol:

The reason it's so fast and economical is it has 8 gears, but it's so smooth and quick changing you don't even notice.

Do people in Wales get paid too much? :mrgreen:

Very nice, I like the 3 series. I bet it's on a par with the T5 in performance and the fuel economy will be more than double :cry:

Faster than the T5, my Dads convinced of it. :roll:
He was getting 30mpg out of the T5, I reckon on a good motorway run 60+ mpg would be easy.

The main reason he phoned was because he also found out if you press and hold the lock button the mirrors fold in :lol:

Cool, let us know as soon as he finds some other features.

I feel excited in anticipation :lol: :lol:

Did he know that if you hold the lock/unlock button on the Volvo in opens/closes the windows?

Yeah thats how he found out about the folding mirrors on this. He went to close a window and the mirrors folded in :lol:
We had the folding mirrors as an optional extra, but we thought the only way to open and close the mirrors was by the button on the drivers door.
