Seduce G6ET

Well guys (and Gals) it's time for me to sign off the Mondeo Forum. I picked up my shiny new G6ET today (everything you read is true and more) and traded the Zetec in. Unfortunately I get bored with cars rather quickly. Thought after nearly 2 years I was doing well with the Mondeo, but then the opportunity for the G6ET came up. What's a man to do??
Thought I might share my thoughts briefly about the good things and the bad things of the Mondeo: Things I will miss (the good): - Exterior style and interior comfort - Effortless open road touring (I can sit in this car for hours) - Size (it really is as big a a Falcon) and huge boot - 6 speed auto gearbox is a good thing - Economy - Voice control, especially with phone. - Quality switchgear, especially steering wheel mounted controls. - 7 airbags. My knees have never felt safer. - Reliability. Nothing ever went wrong. Things I won't miss (the bad): - Frustrating lack of power in cut and thrust of Sydney traffic - Ridiculously tall rear hatch when open - Brake dust on front wheels. - Interior plastics easily marked. Heaps of white scuff marks on doors. Easily cleaned but back again as soon as someone rests their arm or hand. The Ugly: - Me, sat behind the wheel. Thanks for the valuable and worthwhile contributions made to this forum. No doubt I will still check it out occasionally, but I guess my time will now be mostly spent on the G6ET forum. I hope the posters there are as good as you guys. Cheers. |

Have fun with your G6ET. When you write the same list in a couple of years time, I'm sure lack of power won't be included in the bad!

I 2nd the hatch when open being so tall. I've damaged mine already in a basement car park. Bloody annoying.
![]() Enjoy your new car.

Let us know how it goes with the G6ET. That's on my list when changeover comes.
Enjoy!
