My mate had one, he was so happy with he was just going to replace it with another. Something about the new one nagged him before buying it, checking the brochure he realised the new on was bigger and would not fit in his garage (he lives on a main road) and does not have a drive.

agree. Handsome looking car
I’ve pretty much had similar looking blue cars since, thinking about.

Problem I always had with the Mondeo was the stupidly small and unflared wheel arches, even on the ST with 17" rims. They always looked disproportionate to the rest of the car because of it.
Second gen Duratec was the single worst engine made IMO, the followers sounded like tap shoes way too quickly.

I can understand the SUV trend.. what i dont get is the pickup one... see a couple of Ford Rangers... they are massive. one of my neigbhour drives a Hilux.. mostly sits in his driveway. One of the gardner has a ranger (understandable as he lugs his tools in it.) The whole pickup thing is American and I feel the roads in this country are too small for them

Pickups were taxed differently to cars, as they were classed like a van. Or they were

As they (and parking spaces) are for SUVs.
Stupid name too. Nothing sporty about a big barge.

Will the boot hold a cart bag and a GoKart, if the longer woods are taken out of the bag ?
I'll probably be looking for replacement car shortly .

In normal times I have a locker but currently am having to put my bag and push trolley in the boot.
You might get everything in the boot but you might need to put the woods behind the front seat.

I'm very happy with mines, no issues with recommending one.

I had a Focus for 10 years and usually kept the bag in the back seat, because the boot was full of tools and work materials
No work stuff to worry about now

Current Mini just looks like a Range Rover that's been put through a boil wash.

There is a classic top gear where Clarksen makes exactly that point.
I think the 1st car I drive was a Mondeo, my parents one. Or I might have driven their Sierra before that as well, can’t remember the timeline. Started driving in 1993.
Basically just a standard car, I can’t even remember the colour, that’s how forgettable it was. I know it was a Mondeo because my mum wracked 2 Sierras and they stopped making them and they moved across.

My mate has an XC60 T8 with a 0 - 62 time of 5.4 seconds, that sporty enough for you !

Not if it doesn't go around corners rapidly no, especially through the back lanes.
