In what aspect? Generally larger engine - Yes. Drives like a boat? Check!

Upsides and downsides.. nothing wrong with a fiesta/punto/corsa for a first car.
Just cause this is ocuk and youre not presenting an m3 to the board doesnt mean its a bad car - esp since its your first!

A: It's more fun to drive B: Far more toys for little extra money. C: It's something I would be happy to keep long term.

You really think a mondeo is in any shape or form fun to drive? Its a pure daily grind car.

Id say youd have more fun in something a bit lighter with better handling!
Toys is true - unless your budget is quite high
You want you first car to be a mondeo to last you many many years?

And a 1.25 Fiesta is fun to drive?

You can probably pick up a better Mondeo for the money or even less than you can a Fiesta. More for your money etc. etc.

it’s the way the Mondeo drives that sets it apart from rivals. It hides its size well through an almost perfect blend of supple, well-controlled ride and crisp handling, topped by great feel through the controls.

Source :Whatcar?

And also yes ,I would keep it for a while until I could afford something better and I get to the age where my insaurance goes down.
 
I would say down a backroad that a fiesta would be more fun than a mondeo but having only been a passenger in both I guess the statement isnt 100% fair but it follows decent logic.

Youre source is correct - welldone.
One problem but, see the word "rivals" ? That means its compared to a vectra etc! Hard contest..

Also dont forget, more toys = more to go wrong. More to service and more to pay!

The fact that it mentions "rivals" is irrelevant , what I care about is that it is cheaper and the bigger engine and having superb handing and being good to drive = win over a corsa/fiesta/punto
 
Ive given you my 2 cents as the saying goes - If youve convinced yourself on a mondeo then dont ask for advice since you clearly dont want to hear it ;)

I havent "convinced" myself on a mondeo at all. Has anyone else suggested anything that could be better ? NO. And this isn't a spec me thread after all.
edit: When did I ask for advice?

All im saying is youre writing off 3 of the most popular first cars on face value with no license and no legal driving experience on the road.

Good luck getting quotes in 3 years, atleast youll just be able to bump this thread when its finally time :)

I think a mondeo is the best out of the bunch.
 
all this talk of fronting but how about becoming a named driver on one of your parents policy's, paying the extra so you build your experience driving their car when they are not?

Yes this means you cant have your own car and yes it means you will be very limited on when you can drive somewhere but at least it gets you started.
