Co. Car - Mondeo or Focus?

[MagicalTrevor]

Quick one really. Free company car (except the tax).

Mondeo 1.6D Edge

Or

Focus 1.6D Titanium

Neither is fast or interesting but it's a free mile-muncher. Which would you pick?

[jamiebae]

Focus.

Edge is base spec, Titanium is top so unless you need the space that would swing it for me.

[va1o]

Focus if its the new just released model, it will be quicker, more economical and much better equipped.

[Rob_F]

Focus; the handling is sublime.

[V8mate]

I quite like the facelifted Mondeo; quite an enhancement looks-wise.

I guess you don't spend much time looking at the car though, so choose the one you feel most comfortable sitting behind the wheel of.

[greggy50]

Unless you really need the extra space of the Mondeo I would go for the focus imo as it's top of the range instead of poverty spec

[ollie854]

Focus imo

[LHD]

New Focus?

If so, go drive one.

I had a go in one today and wasn't impressed.

[adycav]

I'd buck the trend and have the Mondeo.

It's hardly basic spec and it'll be nicer on the motorways.

[Jem0911]

Both great.
Mondeo looks spec from the focus.
Overall after driving them both Mondeo.

[MagicalTrevor]

I'm likely to pick up a 'second user' one as there are a load of cars available at work so a '58/'09/'59 plate. Probably not a brand spanker.

When did they change? And what's the difference? I've never really paid much attention to this type of car

[Cliff J]

I've got a Mondeo estate Edge model (59 plate). Being just a company car, used for work and shopping runs etc, I neither care about body coloured door handles, fog lights or alloys wheels.
The spec in the Mondeo edge gives me everything I want for everyday use, including aircon, bluetooth phone connection, aux connector for my ipod, 6 gears, cruise control, voice controlled stereo, and it's a big huge comfortable car which is lovely on long motorway journeys and equally at home flying around bends.
To say I love my basic spec Mondeo is an understatement, best company car I've had by a mile, and that's over the previous Focus and Astra I had before, but of course just my own personal opinion

[MagicalTrevor]

Ah cheers.

I'll certainly ask about a new one but with so many hanging around there's next to no chance.

[Welshbeef]

Mondaeo if it's the estate or hatchback but not saloon.
Handling great loads of space really loads.

Agreed.

Mondeo Edge should still have a reasonable level of equipment, IIRC they all have Cruise and a Leather steering wheel. A/C and CD player standard. No alloys though.
