Default How old are you?
Hey guys, just want to get an idea about what age group is a Mondeo. So if you don't mind, post your age.

I will start of course, I am 29.

My friend who looks to be getting an XR5T (mind you I'm trying to get her to buy a XR6T) is 23yo.
Also when I was looking for a car for my folks the fact that the mondeo only had 4 cyl put them off, they're in their early 60's.

This is great, such a diverse age group. I wasn't sure who the Mondeo would appeal to, but we got LRsedan who is 23 with an XR5 all the way to 67 with ajay1940. Also looks like the XR5 is the clear winner, followed by the TCDi and then Katoomba and me with our little old Zetec's.

So Katoomba, you came from a V8 Falcon, how do you find the little old 4 in the Zetec. I came from a V6 and obviously there is a differance. But not much in my eyes. It still is quick.

Perhaps I'm getting older but I love the Mondeo 4: not feeling power-deprived in anyway. I guess it got to the stage with the V8, that every time I touched the accelerator, I had massive dollar signs in front of eyes.

I've had a lot of V8s since my first (a 302 Fairlane ZD in '71 or was it '72?) but I really don't have an urge for another one.

Thinking about organising a get together with other new model Mondeo owners in Brissie. I know the TheColonel is from Brisbane. Anyone else?

I'm 45 and the Mondeo is the most fun I've had driving since 1982 when I bought my LJ GTR! (Thats a Torana - since this is a Ford forum...)

I have only owned one Holden and that was in the late 60s - it was a rare FJ panel van with glass windows in the van sides. How I wish I still had it in the garage on blocks instead of giving it to a wreckers yard cause I was too lazy to advertise it.

Despite buying mainly Fords since '65, it was my new Mondeo that first brought me to this forum

However, I still own a 2000 Laser which in many ways gives me more peace of mind than the Mondeo e.g. Laser tyres $70, Mondeo minimum $250 (from what I've seen so far).

And all those electronic things - lots more to go wrong and probably going to cost a motza to get fixed.

Don't have an XR5, does that mean I can't come?
