It's a fire-engine red V6 wagon with a Jatco 5-speed ATX and dark gray leather interior. All I can say is: the Handling of the Mk3 Mondeo is most impressive. This thing is FUN to drive. Just point and click, so to say ;-))))))) I have only about 400+ miles on it so far. I just hope they'll bring the Mk3 over to you - you'd like the way it drives. I have some pics up on my homepage . Sorry for the poor quality. It was raining and it's only an El Cheapo VGA cam. Joerg

I also hope they only bring it over in the Ghia trim level (to befit the PAG small car niche). Handsome, handsome car. A man of refined taste! P.M.

I'm not crazy about the front (but then again I'm biased toward its older '97-'99 design - the kind the 98+ Tours look like), but it does look like a sweet car.

Also: Quote: Not a single problem in between. The biggest repair was a new headlight bulb. Wish I could say the same :rolleyes: Matthew 98.5 Contour SE V6 It has spent 1.5 years under the wrong identity ;-)
