I for one am a HUGE Alfa fan. I was in Italy a while back in the fall, and they all joke about what junk the Mondeo is. The Alfas- new ones- are holding together, while every Mondeo I saw looked like crap.
I am kinda on Mark's side on this one. I LOVE my Contour. But the finish has started falling off of my steering wheel. I am tired of the blower motor switch catching fire while I drive. I don't like the caucaphony of skueaks I hear each day. I don't like the shoddy assembly. I LOVE the engine. I don't like the transmission. I don't like the fact that my whole dashboard is crooked and they wouldn't fix it. I LIKE the styling.
I love the car, I hate Ford. What a position. Will I buy this new Mondeo? Well, I will be on the market as soon as college/ grad school whatever is over... so I will DEFINITELY LOOK. And drive. But it will take a great first impression to get me to write a check.
