Congrats you just won a New Ford Ecoboost

[Rodge]

You just won a competition and you get to chose a new Falcon Ecoboost G6E or a Ford Mondeo Titanium Ecoboost, decisions decisions, which do you chose, feel free to comment why.

Some of the tech that comes with a Mondeo Ecoboost includes
Blind Spot assist, Radar cruise control, swivelling headlights, 9 Speaker Sony Premium sound system, sunroof, push button start e.t.c.

On the other hand in the Falcon G6E we have rear wheel drive, an arguably better gearbox in the ZF, a higher power and torque tune, 8 inch touch screen, sat nav and perhaps arguably better tuned suspension for Australian / N.Z. roads.

Would be a tough decision or would it ?

[Smoke Pursuit]

Id take the G6E personally... Mondeo is probably the better proposition however.

[Ibo]

G6E

Because I refuse to give something else a go :P

[revcore]

Neither....I'll take the value in cash please, lol

[mash85]

If I had to choose between those i'd two, the G6E, though i'd retrofit an FG1 front bar, I cant stand the front of the G series now.

[Murph-51]

i WOULDNT GET A SAY!!! The missus would take the Mondeo hands down

[Rodge]

I parked close behind a Mondeo yesterday, looking hard at it I'd swear they're actually a bit wider than a Falcon.

they are, not by much but they are wider

[DJM83]

Mondeo.

[Bucknaked]

I wouldnt mind giving the new falcon ago. Really love the new front bar. Best one I've seen since the BF

[Rodge]

On paper I'd probably go for the Mondeo Ecoboost with all its extra Euro technology and put the Falc tune in the Ecoboost motor but a thorough test drive of each before deciding would be a compulsory call.

[Road_Warrior]

I'd take the Mondeo, then I would sell it so I can buy an XR6 turbo.

[noosacuda]

Either and sell it to buy a Chrysler 300 SRT 6.1

[Rodge]

^^ you two. No cheating allowed.

[Nikked]

Mondeo...Spec list wins it.

[Matty4]

Whichever one would get me the quickest sale and the most money back.

[nstg8a]

id like to say the falcon, but i think a test drive of the mondeo might change my mind.

snap decision, no chance to test drive first id go the falcon, for me the fg is a known quantity. its only the motor that would have to prove its merits to me.

[DJL351]

Falcon - based on size only for me.

[mik]

the last mondeo i sat in had a prettier dash layout, i did`nt like the seats though, found them a bit hard for my delicate toosh, not to mention the wheels drive at the wrong end of the car................. Falcon all the way !

[GS608]

Already got an FG so I'd go the Mondeo.

[superfly]

G6E as I don't like the Mondeo (we have them at work). Too small and hate the fact the blinkers are on the wrong side.

[Vincenzo]

I'll go against the trend.

G6E purely on the basis of rear wheel drive. I did 8 years in a front wheel drive and just couldn't take it any longer.

You sure its not a focus at work. The mondeo is on par with the falcon for size.

I hate the blinkers as well.

[MAGPIE]

What has the better resale, I'd take that...

And sell it, along with my 2011 GT, then by a 2013 Shelby GT500 with the proceeds.


But seriously I'd go the Mondeo.

I feel way more cramped in the Mondeo than I do a Falcon.

[Yellow_Festiva]

Mondeo.... don't care for the RWD / FWD debate, and the Mondeo has more of the goodies I like. Prob a little less thirsty as well.

[2011G6E]

Mondeo.

When we took our then-new G6E in to get the towbar fitted, they loaned us a Mondeo, and after driving it around Rocky for an hour or so, it had me and the missus looking at one another and asking "did we make the right choice by ignoring the Mondeo...?". The one we drove was a specced-up diesel automatic...(not sure if it was a Titanium) and geez did it go. It really had us reassessing our future buying...

[4.0i OHC]

I'd take the Mondeo personally (I'm not normally a fan of FWD but you must admit that Ford Europe are probably the best in the world when it comes to FWD chassis tuning)

[Nikked]

Notice the lower grill...

the Mk2 XR's could do with it...

[TheInterceptor]

If i HAD to pick and KEEP the car. It must be the Falcon.
Dont want that ugly Mondeo, indicators are wrong side, dont like the insides, or outsides, all them gimmicks the Mon comes with mean stuff all to me, its FWD not the best for the towing i will do, cant slide it either and does it have torque steer?, parts i assume will be more expensive for it too. Falcon is more comfy to me and has a better interior. It is also Aussie designed and made which is a bonus.

Stuff the haters...Falcon all the way.
