Would look even better in black! I'll post some photos of my wagon with 17" wheels once I wash it!

I am not a big fan of the family planners, but that does look very nice.
Thanks phoonfan

Its a real pity the Wagon isnt available in diesel or XR5 form. It would be a much better proposition if this was the case in my opinion.

Thanks Phoonfan! I actually was lucky enough to see some being loaded off the truck at my local dealer. Very nice car! The interior and cloth fabrics look improved over the older model. Large boot, nice shape. The rear bumper shape around the exhaust looks better than the hatch I think.
Phoonfan, can you find out for me how many Sea Grey Zetec Wagons around around the Sydney Metro area? |

Hey Phoonfan,
Any chance of you posting a pic of the wagon with tailgate open, right next to a hatch with the tailgate open? I find my hatch opening way too high. I am interested to know if the wagon tailgate is going to open as high, or open up to a more reasonable height. Cheers.

I have seen it in the flesh. Its not as high. Nice height very big luggage space and a retractible cover for hiding luggage. I took a test drive. Its quite a long car but drives very nice. Easier to see out of the back window and also blindspot too. |

I couldn't give you exact measurements but the load over point is about 8cm? lower on the wagon and is flat with no lip

You'll love the wagon - I can't understand why Ford Oz have taken nearly 2 years to get it, and then no diesel version. About half of the Mondeos on the road in NZ would be the wagon.

Just visited the FordAus new Mondeo site again
Lo and behold....XR5 range lacks Ink Blue and Tango. Why? Just bland colours or hot red. Wanted : new MB Mondeo XR5 Hatch in Tango (even Blue would do!) or Wanted : New MB Mondeo XR5 Wagon in Tango (yes, 5T+6spd m-a-n-u-a-l) ...Hey, then I'd have a luxo wagon that really hussles. How would that stack up againt the Audi/C5/Passat opposition? (Phoonfan, are you tuned in? Feedback from besotted potential customer.) Hmmm, wonder If I can do a private import from UK to get what I want. |

There is no point in releasing top of the line wagon specs for was is essentially a family load lugger or used for commerical. The only disappointment is that there is no diesel wagon, which would make more sense. The difference between a Mondeo Wagon and a Passat Wagon is around $8000! |

But the difference between a Mazda 6 diesel wagon and a Mondeo wagon would probably be 3 or 4 grand in the Mazdas favour. Yes the Mondeo would probably have more features and a little more room, but then the 6 have a more powerful and more fuel efficient diesel motor. It is arguably a better looker as well however this is personal taste.

Said it before, Ford have got rocks in their heads if they don't bring out the diesel wagon.

I came very close to buying a V8 Sportwagon instead of the Mondeo when Holden were running all sorts of special deals in NZ at the end of last year. But the Mondeo has more load space and I was a bit nervous about the fuel bill. And I doubt if my son would have ever talked to me again!

Just bought a new Mondeo Zetec Wagon on the weekend! Pick it up on Friday. I got it in Moondust Silver with Euro plates, window tint, mats and boot scuff pad.
I was tossing up between Mazda6 Wagon and this one, but for the extra toys you get plus the large interior space and Euro styling, I fell in love with the Mondeo. Can't wait! Not sure if I'm the first Wagon owner yet?? |
