What to replace my falcon with

Lots of replies, thanks!

I mentioned price range, but looking back I also wrote a bit of an essay. Aiming for about 25k.

I was thinking titanium terri for the fruit, but I haven't looked into what they have over the lower spec models.

Was just thinking about mondeos this morning. Couple years ago we checked out some new cars, and we both liked the mondeo, and a wagon might be useful.

I like the option of a bullbar due to where we live. I've already collected a roo on the way to work in my falcon, and my photography hobby gets me out driving at night.

Any of the 5 that liked the post feel free to chirp in, I'm keen to hear about these problems?

Its a lot of car for $25K even if it is 14 years old, reliable powerful diesel with ZF trans that's very good on fuel.

definitely should be crossed shopped with a SZ Territory

Don't rule put the Mondeo sedan (hatch actually), they have a surprising amount of room in the boot.

I'm very much not a SUV guy, but having driven a few Territory's I can see why they sold so well. They are just so plush and comfortable.

This Titanium with the 4.0 would be ideal.

Having said that, $25k buys just a bit more Falcon than Territory.

These low km G6E's look great for that money.

I've rented a few Territories on some of my previous trips East and driven them from Sydney to Melbourne via the coastal highway and also the inland highway and I'd have to say they are an awesome cruiser and that small increase in driver height is a huge plus.

If I didn't require a ute for my purposes there would definitely be one in the garage. I tried so hard to convince the boss she needed a Terri but sadly I failed as she just wanted a simple yellow fuel efficient roustabout.
