Hi all - new to the Mondeo forum; but NOT to Fords, had a few in my time.
 My last was a 2012 FOCUS ST with the 2.0 Ecoboost; which I loved but was wrote off by Harley taking out the front end (my fault too).  I currently own a Lexus IS250, mostly because my wife wanted an auto; but I she has her own car now and I want to go boosted + manual again... Seriously considering a Mondeo XR5 turbo - you guys will be the go-to's for advice? I've read some great reviews - are there any major concerns with the 5 pot Turbos with the 6 speed manual trans? Steve from SA |

Pay $10 and get a brutally honest review report of it an your Lexus (as a benchmark for comparison) from https://dogandlemon.com/geography/australia . At worse it will tell you want most often fails so your are prepared when it happens. Read the free sample Fredlander review here and have a giggle.
We all on this forum , including me are all biased Ford owners and one of value things I learnt when studying marketing at Uni was the role of cognitive dissonance in major/expensive purchases like houses and cars; we don't like to acknowledge even to ourselves that our purchase choice may have been less than perfect.
