When I bought my BMW 3 years ago I thought it would be the best car I’ll ever own (and was up to that point) by the repair costs were astronomical plus the cost of fuel to Leicester and Leeds was kneecapping me each time so I sold it and went for a 308 GT which was still thirsty but not as bad. But obviously with it being a French motor the electrics kept playing up so I got rid of that and now I have the Mondeo, 2.2 TDCI Titanium X Sport which goes like the proverbial brown stuff off a shovel and being Diesel is cheaper to run. Loving the extra trim pack and in all honesty I’d say it better than the BMW. My son loves it (very important!) and my 20 year old daughter no longer thinks I’m driving a midlife crisis car
