Another Wagon Guy
#1
I'm another wagon guy looking to slowly mod my car to improve on the factory looks. I lived in England for 3.5 years and I loved the European Fords, which is why I bought my current focus 2003 focus se wagon in 2007. I'm dissappointed Ford didn't bring the Mk2 or Mk3 focus here they are amazing. I love diesels. Ford makes such a good diesel for these cars.

I should point out that even in europe the MK3 focus is not out there yet.

I think you mean MK1, Mk1.5 facelift, and the MK2 and MK2.5 facelift

Welcome to the site btw. and I agree with you on their diesel line ups, I'd opt for one if they were offered here.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I agree I had a Ford Mondeo Diesel Estate (wagon) as a loaner for a week and I loved it.

When are the meets?

Welcome, from another long roof fan. I am curious (yes even us old guys are curious) about the Ford Mondeo. Just reading the specs, I place it as somewhere a little larger than the Focus, but smaller than the Taurus. Did I read correctly it was available with a six-speed manual transmission? More importantly, was this transmission related to the one found in the Volvo V50/V70 wagons (Estates)?

The Mondeo was originally built on Ford's CDW27 platform, which was sold here for a while as the Contour and Mystique - no wagon though.

Where the Mondeo continued on in second gen (CDW162) and third gen (CDW132) editions in Europe - Ford fans in NA got nothing in that size until the Fusion came in 2006.
