well put it this way, if I enter a passed date for when i was 17, quotes are usually cut in half or even more, for an import civic anyway.

how long have you held your licence? take a year off but make sure you have 0 ncb and see what it comes out as.
This place has a weird masochistic fixation with mondeos, I don't understand it either.
The one at work may have done about 250,000 miles but it still is and always has been a turd of a car, that needs work every MOT, probably the most horrid thing to drive also, all wallowy, gutless and lacks ANY sort of feedback to the driver, other than the feeling that it's about to break.. (although to be fair it never does
)

Becuase its done a quarter of a million miles, duh.
Shock as shagged old Mondeo feels like a shagged old Mondeo.

I would like to drive the clio,106,306 that has done half those miles.
A 250k Mondeo is worthless. Seriously, if you get £100 for it I will be amazed. I doubt you'll get anything better for the price of a bag of crisps, which is probably all you'd get for the Mondeo. So you are wrong.
Back in the real world you can get sub 250k Mondeos for virtually any pricepoint. This is why people like them - they are cheap to buy, reliable, well equipped and if in good nick (Which I appreciate many are not) drive pretty nicely.

agreed, ignore the mondeo suggestions.

I used to drive a 306 on 200k, and it had very few problems...till I got hold of it and drove the nuts off it and blew the engine.

Were you molested in one as a child or something?
What an odd snob, can't be seen in a Mondeo, but a 106 is perfectly acceptable it's like Tokers view, but wierder.
We are talking 500 quid cars and you care about image? No £500 car has an image beyond 'look a crap banger' so get over that right away.
The 106 is slow, pokey, nasty inside, just.. bad.
Muffin has one, he hates it.

the 306 is a very different beast to the 106.
Surely for the money a 406 diesel as mentioned by ed would be a fair comparison to a mondeo.

I hate Mondeos (older ones, yours is ok...ish...prefer the ST250
), and will buy something else instead, but I do understand that they are great cars and keep going with few problems (compared to French things 
).Yes. I was just pointing out the 306 I had lasted a fair while as you'd mentioned them.
InvG
oh dear i have upset the mondeo crew
i would definatly go for a 306 over a 106...
