Brenda's new car

After my wife has had so much enjoyment and reliability out of out ten year old Ford Mondeo Zetec 2 litre Automatic we decided it was time to replace it. Of course we chose another Ford Mondeo 2 litre Automatic but the only option was the top-of-the-range Titanium X Sport with turbo in the guise of Ford's new technology petrol EcoBoost engine.

This just under two year old example was found in nearby Southampton and after the AA had done its checks and vehicle inspection which came out as perfect, I picked it up today. She is really pleased with it. And I am too, as the depreciation on these is quite steep so we got a lot of car for our money and with only 10,000 miles on the clock.

The performance and comfort levels are much improved over the previous Mondeo model and with all the added extras as well. The car also has a good reputation for reliability too. Now, all I have to do is sell the old one. There seem to be a lot of time-wasters in the second-hand car market!
