Sold my Vectra GSi last week and bought my first diesel, 53 plate Mondeo Zetec S.

Just as quick as my Vectra but returns 48mpg average. It actually returned over double on the same journey today that I usually did with the Vectra. Vectra did 30mpg, Mondeo showed 62

Put 25 quid in it when I bought it, I've done 160 miles and still got half it left

I stuck 15 quid in the Impreza the other day, 60 miles normal driving and it was gone.

Seriously considering remapping the oil burner. 170bhp and 300lbs torque and 50mpg? Cant see me having another Impreza unless its a WR1.

What is it at standard? 155bhp? Sounds like a good buy.

, instead i got a 2004 Zetec tdci 90 k mikes which promptly spat its turbo and clutch

Sometines wish id gone for the S , however its just more plastic trim afaik

130bhp. Injectors and pump have been done which does seem to be a problem on these.

Mine has cruise and climate.

good for you iv those pleasures to come , possibly

not sure how the re-map further affects the drivetrain !

yes, clutch and DMF might not like the extra torque.

Yep they are pretty good cars .

I recently bought a 155 TDCI and I am quite impressed with the car .Mixed driving with mainly town stuff and a couple of longish runs on the motorway 520 plus to the tank full .!!!!!

By the way WR1 is a great car as well but your back down to 190 ish per tank full !!!!!!!

Shame they dont do a Focus ST155 (or probably 165 by now) DTCI.

I have always like the Mondeos, ST155 nice half leather interior, comfortable and reasonably quick.

SRSport

I have too. We have one in our staff car park at school, quicker in the real world than my 160 bhp Hawkeye, more luxurious as well yet Im the one that gets all the "nice car" comments from the kids. Nice cars but not sure whether Id actually ever buy one.

Good for you. I have respect for them. Id imagine it to be a good stealth weapon. Let u know what you think of it compared to the scooby.
