Have you ever driven a Mondeo?

On a visit to UK in 08, I was looking for an Audi at auction; they wheeled in this 05 TDCi estate. A quick glance, and 3 seconds later I owned it at 3500 pounds.

Before the auction I had never even heard of a Mondeo. But its looks stunned me. It had 78000 on it, I drove it all over the EU to Turkey, and it was so good I shipped it to NZ. I parted with the car in 2011 April with 120000 on it. It did 5L per 100 and 6L per hundred at 130km/h on the autobahn.

It never cost me a cent, and was a better car than my 500SL Mercedes ever was.

They are starting to really hold their price, because of the reliability and fuel economy.

They are a better car and better looking than a BMW, and anyone who says au contraire is just swayed by the badge.

Ironically it's the BMW that's the common car as opposed to the Mondeo.
