I'm sorry, but in my opinion the Mondeo, especially in wagon form, is PIG ugly. And while the interior may have better fit and finish and use higher quality materials, its design is HORRID. Give me an Aussie designed Ford or Holden ANYDAY.
Performance wise, the 3.6 sidi would blow the mondeo away like no tomorrow, and as for the mondeo diesel using 6.2l/100km, yeah right, I'd love to see that achieved consistently in the real world.

This article completely writes off the sportwagon on the basis that the Mondeo is from Europe so it must be better, an attitude which I am thoroughly sick of.

Yeah but only a gay latte sipper would actually buy a Skoda. I wouldn't be seen dead in one.
