I like these forums but I am fed up with problems and doom and gloom. But I hope to change that!

I have previously had 3 Mondeos as company cars and they suited me well. I have since gone on to take the cash alternative to company cars and have loved and cherished my last drive, which was a British Racing Green Jagwar X-Type Sport V6 petrol. I doted after her and would not park next to another car in the car park....she was washed most weekends, wife and children thought I was obssessed - I was!

However reallity checked in and it was not cheap to run and with holidays looming a more practical car was needed - so she has gone!!!!! Not from the heart though!

So at last I have returned to Mondeo land with a Mk 3 Ghia TDci (facelift version and 45 mpg!).

I have to admit that the Mondeo is every bit as nice to drive as a Jaguar (some filisteins might say it is the same car!! - ignorance is bliss! ) and it is also fun to drive where with the Jagwar I had lost the fun element of driving and got too embroiled with the decadance of the Jagwar.

Its Great to be back here and in Mondeo land and loving it!!

nice clean car by the looks!

Its good to see a positive response, like you say its only usually negative stuff that gets put about so its nice to hear of a positive experience. I've always liked the Mk3 Mondeo its a very good mix of everything you would want from a car (which is why I have a Focus?!, sometimes wish I'd bought a Mondy but there you go).
