Is this right?

Ran a search on Autotrader for a petrol Mondeo for my dad.

There is only 1 petrol manual titanium on the whole site for ~£10k... :eek:

However there are 192 diesels, is this the demise of the petrol engine? Or just the folk that bought petrol are happy with their purchase and are keeping them?

I managed to find about 10 or so, but widended the search somewhat;

I've found 9 between £8-10K, most are Titanium X's though.

In Titanium spec?

This car is ideal, but is automatic.

Does anyone know if this engine came in manual? And if not, what is the auto box like for reliability? I know it might be a new box, but there may be some stories already out...

Odd - 60 miles around Brum I can see 20 or so ... OK its tiny compared to the number of diesels but there are plenty of the 2.5T jobbies around

Nice cars if you get it in the right spec!

Although there are plenty of 2.5T, finding one in the right spec is very difficult. There's only about 100 in Titanium X Sport trim and even then not all of them are that well spec'ed.
