Yeah, I tried it in England. We rented a 2001 Mondeo with the 6-cyl and 5-speed. 16" (17"!??) wheels with nice low-profile sticky tires... It was beautiful. My dad bought my Contour new in 1995, and had it for 7 years, so he was excited to drive it. He missed a few shifts, but picked it up within a week.

couldn't you just get one from Germany instead?

The mondeos look awsome, only thing I'm dissapointed about is their ginormous taillights, but I think I could easily get over that heh.

Turbodiesel Mondeo!




Yes you can. Only place that is RHD is the UK. And yep, 2.2L Duratorq common rail turbodiesel with:
  • 114KW (~153hp) @ 3500rpm

  • 360/400*Nm (~265/295* lb/ft) @ 1850rpm
    • * with "transient torque overboost function" of the turbo

    DANG... almost 300lb/ft of torque outta that bad boy STOCK.

    If I ever get orders to Germany... I wonder if I'll come back with the SVT or with an ST... hmm... Would be cool if they made a diesel powered ST Mondeo, but I could live with the gas one too.
