So thought I'd give an update on this, as it arrived over a week or so now.
Initially a little disappointing as central locking via the fob doesn't work, but does work pressing the dash button inside. Bodywork wise is pretty good, bar 2 small bits of rust, clearly from a cheap previous paint...
Many many years ago (17 years ago ish!) I had this:-
Despite being low mileage (27k when I bought it) and full Renault service history, it was an utter heap. Went through 2 gearboxes, shot a spark plug out the head, sheared inlet manifold bolts, the list goes on. So I sold it, quickly and...
Wow, from Leon Cupra to something even duller, an FN2 Type R. They make a great sound but they don't actually move. You'll be booting thinking, "dat noise" but then look in your rear view mirror and see Mavis is still behind you in her Daewoo Matiz wondering what all that racket is and why you...
I considered a Leon Cupra, found them a bit dull though tbh. They make a noise but it's not interesting, they look good from the outside, are quick and very tuneable but are just dull to drive, dull steering, dull engine. They also seem to rust from the ones I looked at and one my mate had. I...
Not that I'm bothered about mpg really, but the ecoboost isn't horrendously bad. Had a friend snap this, flat road, cruise control at speed limit, live mpg hovering around 40mpg. For a massive, heavy, petrol automatic that'll do 150+mph, I wouldn't class it as bad. Problem is that it's extremely...
Early mk4 mondeo had a na 2.3, that's what I'm on about not the frs 2.3 lol
Averaging 28mpg at the mo now, it'll do 40 on the motorway at 70 but problem is as soon as you accelerate or get to a hill, it drops massively again. Realistic figures are 25-30mpg. My previous mk4.5 mondeo was a 2.0...
This is a 2.0 Turbo making 240bhp, the earlier version was a 2.0 Turbo making 200bhp. Pre facelift was a 2.5 Turbo making 220bhp. 2.3 was just a naff engine, no performance.
Mondeo Titanium X Sport Ecoboost 240 is the full title, you'll struggle to find any for sale though. The pre facelift ones are a bit easier to find, but they're "only" 200bhp.
