In terms of cost it doesn't make much difference at that mileage. It'll use less fuel but there's more to go wrong. Drive both and see which you prefer. Imo the 1.8 is a bit slow for no benefit in fuel usage and the 2.5 isn't much quicker but uses a lot more fuel.

Why the ban on ST170's? I guess you have had a previous bad experience?
Anyway, in the Mondeo pond you need to swim.

That was my point
The Mondeo is a fantastic handling car for what it is, but they just rarely tend to get used in any sort of enthusiastic manner. ST aside, they are brilliant utilitarian cars - something you load up with junk, furniture, dogs, people or all of the above and not worry about what it's costing you or whether it's going to get you where you're going without hassle.
See my point above about best case/worst case scenario. If you want to know all the ins and outs of potential problems and my experience of more than 2 years of owning one, let me know

No, i'd forget the diesel. Plenty of petrol cars can do 35-40mpg.
