. I prefer unassuming cars that you can have a bit of fun without the "look at me" feel. One that I don't get OCD when I park, or when I let the dog jump in after a swim at the beach.
I had thought about a Mondeo Diesel too. But none show up on my search result unless I remove the "manual" criteria...

Its only got a 2.5 BAR MAP sensor too, so you can't go above like 24 PSI boost, before the sensor goes out of range and the car goes into limp mode. |
Gonna ring a couple of tuning houses and see what they have to say about a tune.
