I've been in a few Mondeos...they loaned us one at Ford when we got a towbar fitted to our G6E that we had owned for a week. It was a normal model, a diesel manual. After half an hour driving around Rocky my missus and I looked at one another and both said the same thing...if we'd driven that car first, before the Falcon, we'd have bought it in a heartbeat.
A workmate has a Titanium XR5...awesome car, very euro, goes like the clappers.
If you're just after "an car", then all the people buying Camrys ought to go to Ford and have a look at a Mondeo...it's so much better as a car it isn't funny.

A diesel manual in Australia!!! Someone tell him his dreaming!!

Mendeo in manual has only been available in australia in XR5 level & XR5 was only in petrol.
