I like having the space to carry stuff, guitar gear, windsurfing kit, tools and stuff for work and the Galaxy is ideal as you can take all 5 rear seats completely out. Unfortunately theres nothing around now that will allow you to do that, apart from a VW Caddy Maxi Life and they're dear to buy and service.

It it still had the original exhaust when it was scrapped. Everything was shall we say lose but it still ran fine.
it was the gift I needed and did 50k a year and never let me down. Doubt we would of ever got the company off the ground in hard times without the frugal mondeo.
i know run an E Class which I thought was a real old mans car I am that these days but it eats the miles and is super easy to drive and has been solid and easy on juice amazing engine fuel consumption for a big car
Yes, I thought that might be the case - it would have seemed a bit of an odd thing to do for Ford to allow their cars to dangerously cut the power once you rev over 2500rpm
Mine started doing it around 35k miles, but stops doing it once the service has been carried out. It's going back next April anyway so some other bugger can worry about it...
I think I've solve my seat problem by reversing the headrest. Slightly longer trip today so we'll see...
My my sister has a base mondeo. Different seats.
Just ordered a 4 series convertible which turns up in a month.
Had beemers for the last 10 years and they are reliable and fun which is all I need from a car.

Plus points: Great handling for an economy car. Nice enough steering and pointy front end. Plenty of grip.
Nicely screwed together inside, no rattles, things work and feel OK.
Strong engine, significantly quickly car than the 2.0tdi rep-mobile stuff.
Looks nice without the chrome bits (black honey comb grill)
Good paint
Spacious enough for me at 6ft5 (easily, I can get my knees to touch, I don't have the seat all the way back and have the steering wheel adjusted all the way out)
Cheap lease deal
Tax free
Reasonable fuel economy
Negatives:
Not so nicely screwed together outside. Bumper fit is not perfect, sideskirts too.
5 speed gearbox- way too long gearing. 70mph in 2nd, 100mph in 3rd. Doesn't make the most of the engine.
High list price, would not buy new when the ST is not so much more expensive.
Fuel economy is only reasonable. Do not believe the claims. 60mpg is an old-lady's pipe-dream. I get 42 tops.
Had a few fun cars in my time, but my 106rallye S2 was the best by miles. Awesome little thing.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
Ha! The new ones are fucking lovely aren't they?
