Hummm... I'm actually quite impressed with this one overall.
Goes very well, handles very well.
Not quite sure what Ford were thinking when they stuck strips of the cheap and nasty vinyl to the seats in an apparent attempt to break up the grey monotony.
A world better overall than the last shape Mondeos I've been looking at of late in terms of general cabin quality and finish.
One thing I've been finding a bit disconcerting is it feels a lot bigger than the Passat to drive?
I've put this down to the high dash / window sills etc.
The heated windscreen elements are a bit annoying, as I'm constantly aware of them in my vision, and they're a bit of a distraction.
Oh, and whoever designed the controls so the stereo fingertip controller is in a place that means between it and the rather portly centre console, your left knee restricted for room, needs a kick up the arse for ruining an otherwise good driving position.
Overall, not a bad car at all, and I'd consider one if looking for a new car of this size right now.
