Fially got my new motor

It's been a few weeks since I sold the S3, but I have finally found the right car for the cash I had left after selling the S3 and paying for all the nursery stuff for my expected child due September.

Wait for it and don't be too shocked but it is a Mondeo..... of the ST220 variety, a facelift 6 speed one, 3.0 litre V6, October 53 plate, 26,000 miles, silver with Infra red Recaro leather seats, DVD touch screen sat Nav & 6cd changer, parking sensors, auto wipers and lights, Xenon's, new tyres, 6 months tax and balance of man facture's warranty.





I know it's not an Audi, but I had £13,000 to spend and wanted a 3.0 litre 4 door aloon, all the A4 3.0 Quattro's were too much money or high miles, this was the next best thing for what I needed, a sporty saloon with loads of space. It drives like a dream and the Recaro's are the same as the S3 and they are heated /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

All the reviews I read were great (including Top gear) and best of all the service is £132 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/groovy.gif

I will still drop in here from time to time and will def have another S3 one day, as it is one of the best all round cars I have ever owned.

My old S3 is now owned by dik on here, so make sure he is keeping it in good shape

Looks nice mate, how about a quick review on the drive?

Any pics of the engine bay? I'd like a look at the Ford 3.0.

Only driven it test drive wise, but will drop a review on here after the drive home, got to pick it up in Ashby De La Zouche so will have a good drive home to South Wales /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
