right, sax will be gone at the end of november so looking at a family car. torn between two though. the mgzs180 with 180bhp and a crappy interior or the mondeo which has a ford badge on it but makes 200bhp and has loads of gadgets like climate control and cruise control. just wondering what peoples thoughts on them are?:y:

i would have to say the mondeo. Although it is a ford i think it looks better than the MG and also will be more comfortable.
However never been in either just a guess from pictures.

in its day the Mondeo was class leading in handling.

They look okay as well.

Well if your going on terms of cost and supporting a family at the same time the best option would be the MG ZS as the Mondeo ST is a very very thirsty car to run and the way petrol is going up at the minute it's not a wise idea unless you go for the ST TDCI which is equally as good

I love how you all say "its just a Ford" like a citroen is something special.

MG ZS180's are proper rapid, lusty V6 and a sorted chassis. Mondeo a better family car, but for a keen-driver's tool I'd take the MG. Try both and see what you think :)

definitely the mondeo without a doubt, it'll last you longer and a have a better resale value. the mg's are too common now...and look out of date. the quality in the ford will be much better too.

Dont go buying MGs unless you like to be kept busy fixing things.

All i ever hear about MGs from friends who have them is why did i buy it?

Go for a volvo mate, you could probably pick up a c70 t5 for about 3/4k.
Leather interior, cruise control, the best sound system youve ever heard...list goes on.
245bhp as standard, then get it remapped to 310bhp- all through the front wheels but who cares! Stylish looking cars too! http://www.supercars.dk/images/products/C70-3.gif
