adambell Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm so impressed with my mondeo I am seriously considering getting a mk5 depending on price and spec when the lease is due for renewal Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I believe from family in the state's where it's called the "Fusion" it's gorgeous and they compare it to an Audi in quality of materials etc.., It'd have to be seriously bad for me not to get one and my next Mondeo will be my 8th since they began with the Mk1 in 1993 and everyone as been great !

2011fiesta Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I believe from family in the state's it's called the "Fusion" Correct - I'm in love with it! lol. I can't wait to see it arrive as our new Mondeo. With the face of an Aston and the rear of a Jag, whats not to like. The interior looks all grown up too what with the MyFord Touch screen up on the dash, and lack of handbrake infront of the arm rest, it looks really smart, simple and modern. Anyone who hasn't done so already, should search YouTube for something like 'US 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium' and watch any of the vids. The black ones look absolutely stunning! (And there's hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions too. Unfortunately if you like saloons/sedans like me, you may be dissapointed to learn the UK will miss out on this and get a hatchback version instead - just like with the Focus and Fiestas. There'll probably be an estate too though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Cheers Paul, my wife's got a black Titanium fiesta like yours and asks where did u get the chrome grill strip from?? looks great!! I've just looked at the vids on YouTube and it looks great except I don't like these electronic handbrakes, I test drove a Insignia Elite when buying mine and twice on the test drive it seemed to take forever to release? Love toys / gadgets hence why I always buy the top model but am not taken on this ? Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrimex Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Lovely colour mate Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Thanks mate, it reminds me of the old sporty types :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think deep impact blue and panther black are the best colours for any ford, they look classy and yet sporty at the same time.

The Admiral Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I definitely agree with you and both colours give the car that wow factor ! , I was having Panther Black for my next Mondeo but after seeing "Deep Impact Blue" it's up in the air !, can see the Blue being the winner ;-) Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrimex Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It is a lovely colour. When picking it I also liked black, but wanted to something a bit different and saw the Focus ST in the same colour and thought it would like nice with the chrome extras. When it arrived I was pleased made the choice. My daughter wasn't she wanted Yellow (shes only 6!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love toys / gadgets hence why I always buy the top model but am not taken on this ? Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Thank you, it was from eBay a few years back. There was an upper strip too but it looked a bit over the top, so I only applied the lower half. (Its only ABS(?) plastic mind so it hasn't weathered fantastically, but it looks fine from a few feet away lol). I've only had a little experience of electric parking brakes and that was on a Nissan Leaf, which was obviously automatic (like my fiesta), so I only apply my handbrake when I'm getting out the car - but yeah it may be an annoyance to manual drivers who don't electric handbrakes as they're applying & releasing it alot more. I just like them because theres no big ugly handbrake on the centre console. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambell Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 So I've done almost 5000 miles and the car is just getting better and better. I've noticed that first thing in a morning when the engine is cold, it's very sluggish, but after a minute or two it's fine. The car so comfortable and quiet I love driving it, it's far quieter on the road than my Audi was, I imagine the smaller wheels play a part in that. The car is so full of features it's fantastic value for money. The only thing that disappoints me is the convers+ system, it doesn't give a visual display of the parking aids, it doesn't display half the information of other models. All in all I love the car and fully recommend it to anyone considering a mondeo with plenty of toys.

The Admiral Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 There a brilliant motor ! we've just spent a long weekend at a friends lodge near Portmadog and we roughly did 450 miles over 4 days and it was effortless, comfy and a pleasure to drive Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khevolution Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 just caught up with this thread, nice car you got there,i think my next Ford will be a Mondeo, had a look at the new shape mondeo at goodwood FOS last weekend, and in my opinion while it looked good from the outside and the boot space was huge, i wasnt too sold on the interior, but i think if specced correctly it would make a lovely place to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Am not that keen on the steering wheel on the new Mondeo reminds me of my wife's Fiesta Titanium, buy am keen to take a look all the same , am also going to look at the new Ford EDGE 4X4 ( Mondeo on stilts ) which could be a great combination Sent from my HTC One X using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khevolution Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 yeah my dad is a big SUV fan, hoping to convince him to take a look at the Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 I think when a new model is first released, the spec and interior trim appear to be a lower quality, it's always the same. As you say though, with the right options I'm sure the new mondy will be fantastic Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 My previous car was the 2.2 Titanium X Sport. Great car and once I bluefinned it the performance was pretty serious. It had everything on it you could wish for but it was on HP and a change in circumstances meant it had to go and to be honest it was way too big for the 9 mile daily commute but I am glad I had it for a while and got it out of my system or I would still be wanting one !
