The DuraShift on the mondy is a good auto box. The Auto box in the focus isn't great but its definitely not bad as auto boxes go.

Do the mk2 autos not have same box as the Mondeos?

No, the mk2 focus auto shares its box with the latest fiesta and a couple of mazdas. The petrol auto on the mk3 mondeo is rubbish :confused:

The mondeo has a different box for the diesel which is the durashift, which is good. The box in the petrol is pants.

Focus. £4.5k gets you a mk2 with decent spec and probably a 2ltr engine

Not sure on the expected depreciation though!

Can see a few 06 plate focuses on AT for around that budget
