Ford Mondeo

[Mojoe]

Errmmm... I'm not sure as well... that's why I asked about history of this one...

 

But the 156 SW is one strange car... boot space smaller than the sedan so may not fit my needs.

[Mojoe]

errmmm... okay... but please don't use CAPs when writing... looks like you are shouting.

[Samshio]

that's strange. SW boot smaller than sedan. Then why have SW ?

[Magfocus]

But the 159sw has a bigger boot than the sedan now..

[Mojoe]

40L more i think... but the premium for "air" space too much lah.

[Vtim]

no lah... this one cannot be approved by CO... another hatch with another round of family planning in mind cannot lah...

 

btw... you know the history of this one...

this one I don't know, you need to check with the AROC guys

The titanium would be a better looking one with a few more items in it. then there's the GHIA model that control the damping and suspension if I'm not wrong..

 

I was looking at it 2 months back but the trend model was going for 105 if I didn't remember wrongly. Titanium was 9k and ghia was 10k more than trend.

 

 

like you mention, it's not really a performance car but for long drive and handling, it would be good and not as loud compared to others like legacy...

 

If you can neg, I would suggest the titanium model....Trend is rather bare if you ask me..but I'm a sucker for buttons

[Sony]

It is definitely a looker and a good car... The SA I spoke to mentioned that the higher road tax and poor FC are the 2 main reasons why people shunned away.

 

 

YOU ARE RIGHT!

MAIN BUGBEARS ARE HIGH FC AND ROAD TAX.

OTHERWISE, IT IS A SMOOTH SAILER, REALLY ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE.

 

ADVISE IS TO WAIT FOR HYBRIDS IN ABOUT 2 YRS TIME. ALL MAJOR CAR MAUFACTURERS WORLDWIDE ARE ROLLING NEW HYBRIDS OUT ABOUT 2010 ONWARDS

 

 

but price of hybrids might be much higher in its initial stage

[Mojoe]

3 previous owners... hmmmm... the boot space may be a damper for me though. Looks like original plate so maybe easier to trace.

 

does the GTA comes in manual manual? This one doesn't state that it's the Falali sourced selespeed...

[Vtim]

IIRC, 156GTA comes in Manual and also Selespeed

[Samshio]

no Mondy owners here ??

 

BTW Ghia model is abt 10k more and has Rear a/c vents, corner static lamps, auto dimming rear view mirror, auto headlights, electric folding mirror, bi-xenon, the suspension adjustment, window shades, etc.

 

Worth it ?

[Samshio]

Test droved the Mazda 6 just now. Not bad. a bit "lighter" in feel to the mondeo, but handling not bad, just a touch below Mondy.

 

Interior is smaller than mondy, but still quite spacious. Boot space Mondy beats it.

 

Lot's of gadgets, and cheaper by around 10k

 

Sporty look, as opposed to Mondeo's executive look

 

Overall, quite a competitive package. Can see why Mondy is not popular.

 

However, my CO is against Jap/Korean/China cars.

[Darth_mel]

Actually they are almost the same car.

 

Both share same platform and look almost alike IMO especially the hatchback.

 

If you change the badges between the two I don't think many will even see the difference.

[Samshio]

I thought Mazda 6 is based on the old mazda 6 ford platform, whereas the new mondeo is based on the new EUCD platform shared with the volvo s80 ?

[Joey]

is anyone aware if Regent Motors bring in the estate version of the new Mondeo MK4?

 

[Samshio]

They used to I believe. now currently not on offer. I'll check with them

[Miketow]

so when are you changing to this one http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=28250&DL=1000

 

it's waiting for a new owner lah

 

Is that Lambo Orange ST..yours?

[Samshio]

Mazda 6 low spec drop to 75k liao !! just a couple k more ex than the focus

 

checking up mondy price.
