New Family Wagon?

[craig180]

Currently got a Citroen C4 1.4, which really doesn't cut the mustard, if you know what I mean. Not quick, not really that big, not really economical, still expensive road tax, even though it's a 1.4.

Was thinking about getting shut after xmas and getting a Mondeo ST estate, but came across this (http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/FORD+MONDEO/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-22-41-51-59-62-240-4294967084-4294967194/advert.action?R=200845322739334&distance=3&postcode=ls1+6ax&channel=CARS&make=FORD&model=MONDEO&min_pr=&max_pr=8000&max_mileage=60000) today and off to view it tomorrow with a view to chopping in the C4.

Saloon ST TDCi in silver. Rare! What we think?

Looks really smart, could imagine that being fairly quick too :D

[Mattt-VTR]

Looks sleek that does buddy, what the mpg on that like?

0-60 is quicker than a standard VTR. It's the torque where it's at though - enough to pull a house down (or a trailor with a track car on it)

Combined MPG figures are iro 45 mpg, so I will expect 35-37 realistically, which is still better than we're getting on the C4

i quite like the estate versions of them , or the saab 93 diesel

Pretty good then, and fast for the size.

Was looking for an estate but thought it was a bit of overkill for our requirements - and they are more expensive :n:

cant see link, but sounds good.

Get a cheap trailor and use it to tow one of the cars. (gives you an excuse to not be so pansy on the shell :P)

[shooorn94]

In black and you're onto a winner craig, that said maybe a bit of variation is needed on the drive so black may be a bad idea.

Love the ST Mondeo, definetlly worth the money. But a 1.4 C4? What were you thinking??? :panic:

[craig180]

I will never own another black car (unless I get offered a panther black Escos at a stupid low price). As for the C4 we got a deal we couldn't refuse and thought it would be ideal for the missus. How wrong!

Amiee is an editing whore or maybe just a whore in general ;)

How so on the black car front?

Bastard to keep clean, which is why I was on the look out for either a silver or sky grey mondeo

[Ocego_VTR]

Sat in the st220 (3.0 v6) saloon that was very comfy imo, the diesel would be better than your c4.

HAd considered the petrol version. DIEsel is same apart from engine, but quite a bit cheaper to tax, run and insure

[Amiee]

Whore in general sounds about right.. tbh


im not really a whore.. i just like to give that impression

Craig would the fuel consumption/tax work out any better though as it is such a large car?

Stay away from the petrol he was only averaging 25mpg.

Didn't fancy £400 a year in tax either!

lol, ive just been looking at the exact same one!

the ST's are ok, they do pulled very well but the derv's dont seem as responsive as the petrol ones (to be expected).
Ive had both as company hire cars and on the motorway you cant tell the difference but they are very comfy and nice to drive.
go for it, most people that drive Audi's are wa*ker's lol

[Predator_R32]

very nice you power crazy old man :p

[TU-Tuning]

that audi's stunning. St has nothing on it imo, and I like them too

[qrty]

AUDI FTWW!!!!! :y:
