It shouldn't put you off - the mondeo and X type are both great cars - we've owned several of both from new and never had any gripes.

Nice colour by the way - which engine is in it?

The Mondeo is a damn good car, better than a BMW these days.

Must say its a fab car. It may have a ford running gear but is its not a ford inside. Its the 2.5 v6 auto. with full black leather interior and all the toys. and oh so comfy.

And yes think i am getting old. Anyone seen any leather driving gloves and were did i put that trilby hat. Ha ha
