that is why ppl find it hard to believe your cars are stock. [laugh]

 

I only "suggest" to people of that option but for myself, I will not do it. :D

 

So it is stock.

Oh.

 

The cheaper Mondeo pricing is the basic, Ghia spec ahh? Then how much is the Titanium with more features??

 

To be frank, the Mondeo was already outdated looking since it was launched [YR2007, making it an almost 5yrs old car next year], even for the pre-facelift version.

 

And it's a pity the Mondeo doesn't get the 2.0T 240bhp. It's only the 2.0EcoBoost 203bhp.....

 

And the interior build quality leaves little to be desired to be honest. Haha. It definitely feels like a cheaper continental car compared to the usual German brands.

I prefer the mondeo look over the passat, jetta, superb.

Exterior wise, yes.

 

It beats VW/ Skoda anytime IMO [again it's personal preference here].

 

But as for interior, price VS price, the Skoda should be much better equipped and built.

check out the new focus.. nice nice

 

 

 

I know it's nice. But I only can take the estate design.

 

I find the sedan too gawky, hatchback a little small for me.

 

Estate is the best. I wonder if RM will bring it in though.

 

Anyways, the engine is the 1.6L 125bhp version right?

Does the door have padded/ soft-touch plastics on the upper surface??

 

I understand Ford only has it for the Titanium models? Base Zetec/ Ghia models don't have it -> Hard Plastic doors. Haha!

But why would ppl buy a car with (serious) reliability issue?

 

because the gearbox problem is only a recent issue w the new DSG gearbox.

 

vagsg.com has so many complaints abt the gearbox....

 

problem now is not sure if they have fixed it. If u wanna risk go ahead but judging from the posts on vagsg it doesnt look like theyve fixed anything.

 

Its almost as if they r expecting it to break down... yes its unreasonable to sell defective cars but they dont care if there r enuff suckers
