nice sleeper q car if it wasn't for that MP-esque sill kit
the fact that it's a ford makes it more interesting for me
quick, not so nickable, anonymous, practical, cheap, quick, reliable, did I mention quick?

If only the ST170 was as interesting. I can't believe we're still waiting for the first hot Focus, Ford have missed the party by about 2 years.

Maybe they should stick some Jaguar badges on it for you and charge 3½ grand more?

My little RST fiesta would eat it for breakfast! If it came up against me on the motorway it can get the hell out of the way or get squashed!

Dare I say it, and you'd not catch me dead in a Ford unless it was a hearse (God I'm funny sometimes), but these things, well the old version anyway can give some pretty well established performance icons a real run for their money...and there's my point, it should be cheaper, almost 23k for a Mondy, don't think so! Would rather have the new Alfa GTA, now there's a good looking fine handling/performing every day car, not such a wise way to spend your hard earned though??

I can't wait for these puppies to be out and about on our roads....more people to humiliate.

To quote TopGear Magazine, "its no Honda Accord Type-R beater, but definitely worth a squirt"

guess what ive got ? and from just a 2.2...I bet the mundano is all quiet and respectable too

people!!!! you’re such preconceived!!!! did you ever drive a Focus? no? so go for it! and then say something bad about Ford!!!


well…
ok…
hm…

yeah, it’s a Ford, Focus was just good luck. maybe someone had mistaken during the project, and Focus ended a good Ford.

but yeah!! a AlfaGTA would beat Mondeo with no mercy even my Rover414 would do that easy job!!!
or maybe not…

Get drive a New Mondeo every day at work. I had my doubts but I must say it is a good all round car. Its no sports car but the handling is very impressive, good grip, good body control. Its very chuckable and hides its bulk well. Shame about the badge....
