having one of these delivered later in the week... any good?
Was purchased today, getting its branding & checks tomorrow, then whenever they can deliver it to me

Company have changed leasing agents, so no more Mercs, Volvos or Saabs  :rage:  :(

The new shape/model?

Have to admit I quite like the way it looks and its been getting rave reviews/praise.

Been driving the diesel estate version around recently as flat mate has one.  Its a good solid car tbh - cant really fault it (except the boot on the estate hangs 4 million miles out the back of parking spaces!)

Saabs are Vauxhall, Volvo are fords, and mercs are just mercs.

The new Mondeos are supposed to be very nice, especially if get a Ghia/Titanium model.

Some people laugh at the idea of a Mondeo but even top gear had to concede they were and still are a very good buy. For all practical reasons theres no real reason not to get one, and I intend to buy one (albeit the older mark 2 or 3) in a few months.

Yes, it was purchased especially for me.

Not sure the model, but the current one is Titanium X or somthing..

I wont be basic as it has to have some prestiege to match my tier 3 status
tier 1 gets vans, tier 2 gets vectras tier 3s did have volvos, mercs & Saabs, but are now getting Mondeos

Its the estate version as well.

and thats the order I rate them.

loved the saabs, really quick (even the diesel) & the fuel economy was outstanding.. getting 400miles out of a petrol & over 600 on the diesel for a full tank
Volvo was nice, took about the same to fill, mileage a bit less - but it was really comfortable to drive.
Merc = piece of sh*t. Really are just paying for the badge. No fancy toys, seats arent wide enough & quite uncomfortable.

The ST220 that was in Casino Royale looked great.



Shame you cant get one of the 2008 shape Audi A4s..

edit/cant get the bloody link to work to the gallery...

Im thinking about going for one of the new A4s... maybe wait until the new RS4 is released ;)

great cars, old ones are abit bland but the new ones look very good. the tdci diesel is very impressive as is the titanium trim level

Good solid car.  There is no practical reason to get one.

New range has a lot more character.

Eggtastico

well it got delivered yesterday, but I rejected it :-D

They need to now buy me the correct model / spec.

If im paying through the nose in tax, they can make sure I get what im paying for.
