and let me tell you this, over the last few weeks, the best car I've driven has been the new new vectra SRi but today I got hold of a 02 plate mondeo estate with the 130 bhp TDCi engine and BOY, does it FLY!!!!!!!!!!! ok, so teh power band is only from 2 to 4 k but it shifts and what's more, it handles like the vectra could only dream about traction control only cuts in when you can hear the tyres chirping the ride is brilliant and the seats are a lot more comfortable even in a lowly LX spec than they were in the Sri with it's mullet lumbar stuff and nonsense
all in all, looks like I'll be spending my hard earned on a mondeo now
unless I like the little fiesta zetec I'm getting in a few days time that is.....................................
