focus 1.6 zetec mk1 > 2.0 mondeo ghia/ghia x - good upgrade?
Basically as the title says. Was doing back of the fag packet calculations the other day and insurance and fuel costs wouldn't be too much more running a mondeo over the focus.
I like the sound of the mondeo's toys, comfier drive and better interior than the focus - seems a really well specced car for the price. Was considering something like a 2003 or 2004 car for about £2-3k. I'd be part exchanging my focus as well so the actual cost would only be something like £1-1.5k. (Not too sure on the value of my current focus - 1.6 zetec with 60k miles. ~£1.5-2k at a dealer?)
My only concern would be the higher cost of parts on a Mondeo and more things just to go wrong in general, although my focus has been reliable so far and what has gone wrong was cheap to fix.
Anyone else done a similar path or think it would be a good idea ?

I think I read that a titanium is exactly the same spec wise, minus the wood? They seem rare though. I want the toys!
