Just thought I'd post a follow up for anyone that's interested in one of these.
Handling is slightly worse than my old Mk2.5 Focus, understandably due to the extra weight and length. Power wise the 1.6 turbo engine provides more power than the old 2 litre (160bhp vs 145bhp) and because it's turbo charged you get the nice boost effect. The engine is surprisingly good and more than sufficient for comfortable overtaking.
I've swapped out the standard Ford 6000 standard terribad radio for a Sony one that I purchased for the Focus (originally from a Focus ST2), the bluetooth unit in the Mondeo must either be the same or compatible with the radio as all the bluetooth functions work as they should.
I'd class my runs to work and pottering about as combined milage, the dash reading is showing 40.2MPG whereas my Focus was 40MPG for the same use. On the motorway the average MPG is between 45 and 50 with cruise control at 70mph in sixth gear.
The ride (suspension etc) is much smoother than the Focus and there is much less cabin road noise when driving.
Happy, yes I would say. I miss the 'raw' handling of the focus, but this car's a mile muncher with some added fun when you want it
Ninja edit: The road tax is £145 rather than the £180 per year of the Focus, so an extra Brucey Bonus there.
