Your plans for 2010?

Absolutely, the old passats are decent solid cars - comfy, practical and reliable.
Fun? Embarrasing people in road races? purleease. I've got a car with an equivalent engine to a PD130 passat and miles better handling - I'd never even dream of describing it as a fun car. Sure its possible to have fun in it on the right road, but its not a fun car.
Can we have a nomination for deluded poster of the year in the awards thread?

Don't do it. Non OEM headunits not only look awful, they don't integrate well with the newer cars and on the 1 series you'll lose your PDC beeps too as they're generated by the radio.
Yup, nobody else involved, i wouldnt want to race someone and get some third party involved if I crashed would I.
Yes it is, but then you would know a fun car when you see one wouldnt you in your fiesta
Your mondeo pales in comparison to a passat, i know this as i drove both a tdci and a zetec S v6 before I bought the passat. Ford = Fail.
But the sound quality from a P88RS2 is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better than standard BMW gear.

Passat > Mondeo?
Lol.
Lol.
Two options:
1:
Front end respray on ST, and full corrective detail.
Alloy refurb.
Fix all the rattles and replace cracked trim.
Basically make the Fiesta look like new again.
2:
Sell the Fiesta and get a Mondeo ST220 or BMW E46 3series.

Keep the Fez! 
Probably the ONLY small car I actually like, very capable cars. Infact, probably the only Ford I like

*Snigger*....mmkay then.
Your opinion would be at odds of pretty much every motoring journalist who's driven the cars. The Passat is a better car in a lot of ways - its better built, has a better interior and is more comfortable. But in handling terms, the Mondeo is the better car. Im not saying that because I own one - I own one because that's the fact.

i really want to keep the Fez but gain 6speed gearbox, cruise control etc...
the other option is to SC it to around 250bhp, however its a daily, and crusing @ 75mph with boost would kill my MPG

Well and truly option 2.
Hold up.
Are you saying that you bought a (in your own words) a poorer built, less comfortable car because it handled slightly better?
Why would Handling be an important factor in purchasing a second hand run of the mill 4 door saloon?

The Mondeo is nicer to drive than a Passat by a greater magnitude than its interior is poorer (I didnt think it really was THAT much poorer), if that makes sense. The Passat is just utterly bland in every way - the Mondeo at least entertains on the right road.
Have you ever responded to a post and not completely missed the point?[TW]Fox;15594991 said:
Exactly what I was going to say. Plus the Mondeo represented better value for money, was more spacious, better equipped and better looking.
After 5 years with the Clio I think 2010 is the year of change.
Plan is to do something at the end of the year as a 30th present to myself, no idea what yet as the choice changes each week
Big range of choices as well, M3, Evo, Impreza, Focus, Golf, Megane, who knows

And yet you decided to defend your purchase by saying that the Mondeo handles better?
