We have a 14 month daughter and sometimes space is a necessity.
Other issue I really wanted white. But all gone (08) that is. Im after 08 LV obvioulsy to save some $$$$. Trying to pretty much changeover with minimal costs. At the moment looking at $2500 changeover. Blue LV with stripes and floor mats.

Small change over. I guess the dealer is trying to make something out of the deal.
We have a 7 year old, and as our only family car, I found it to be way too small. I'm not sure how you will go with prams and strollers. The boot fills up very quickly.
Sound is fantastic. I agree, cruise is a downfall, but I've not used mine yet.
I know where you are coming from. I had no end of drama's with mine. I think it's the luck of the draw. So far the Mondeo has been faultless and it restores my faith in the ford product. I actually enjoy driving the car. The focus I found was no desire to be in it, incase something else went wrong. I just think I was unlucky.
Good luck with the LV. It is a fantastic looking car. An improvement over previous LS/LT model.

I've wimped a bit now and if I know the parking situation in advance (like my local Coles/Kmart) I take my Laser.
Apart from that I never owned a car I enjoy driving as much as the Mondeo.

That is the one thing I found as well. Parking is a bugger. I've almost hit a pole in a car park, thank god for those sensors, I'd have clearly hit the pole without them.
I read about the water in the boot issue. I checked my seal, being Sept08 model, it's got the new seal and the new exhaust tips.
They are a pleasure to drive. I notice the difference in power between the focus and mondeo. But I don't mind, as its more comfortable to drive. I also can't wait to try the heated seats in Canberra in winter.

Congratulations on your purchase. Sea Grey was my 2nd choice. Ink Blue was 3rd.
