hhmmm
well due to ford NOT making RWD cars now i was forced to look else where.
i had an escort tdi is was terrible, pile of poo, tryed mondy/focus and was not impressed at all, not only is the power an issue,, all that wieght up front and bugger all at the back doesnt work for me, i do not like FWD and wouldnt have one unless i needed to!
bought a BMW 320d tourer,,, i am very impressed with the petrol version, as a car it was just "right" in every way,,
however due to the pushy sales man i tryed the car i have now,,
2003 320d tourer
it goes faster than the petrol 2ltr, i cannot get below 48mpg even with ragging it localy and on a run i can hit near 60mpg (at costant 65mph on c/control, aircon off),,,, i have found its chipped tho :wink:
i am a ford man, will always play with older cars, but as long as ford make new FWD cars i aint having one.
