ST220 - How light is the cream interior?

[Flatsix]

Hi, i may have found a good ST220 as the new family bus (well got to do it in style). Anyway, the car in question has the cream interior ( I don't know it's correct name). As I haven't seen the car and it's a fair distance away has anyone else seen this interior if so, how light is it and would it stand up to the rigors of two small children?

Thanks for any info!

It's called flint and is very light(more grey than cream) personally i'd steer clear.........

I think it looks great - a perfect compliment to black or performance blue. That said, it's not very kid-friendly if you allow your children to eat and drink in the car.

Mine is magnum grey with the cream interior. Looks lovely in my opinion but is tough to keep clean. As was mentioned before its more grey than cream. Ive got some pics somewhere ill try and post one

Have placed a deposit on this vehicle and will be picking it up week Friday (july 11th). Went for it as it has low mileage, 12months parts & labour warranty, good spec, tax etc. etc.

Interior may be a tad light but all in all seemed like a good deal.

The sprogs will be dressed in extra absorbent towels whilst in it

Can anyone recommend a device to hook up in iPod to the CD player? Would prefer something discreet - e.g. iPod in the glovebox (I don't like the dash holders).

Edited to ask: what is the Sony CD model as fitted as standard (the car is a 54 plate one)

My car has an aux port in the glovebox, connected to the DVD navigation system. I think most Mondeos have this.

Does this apply to cars that don't come with navigation system?

I think it applies to most cars. My friend has an ST-TDCi with the Sony head unit and that has the Aux port. Look in the glove box when you get the car, you can't miss it.

The Sony CD model is a 6 disc CD system (if it's the same one as I had on my mondeo). You just feed the 6 cd's into the head unit. It was an upgrade from the ford unit of the previous model year.
