Question for Dan J (Mondeo TDCi auto) - Flat in Fifth
tangential to the diesel - auto thread.

Dan,

Seem to remember you were going to start working for Ford.

Did they ever sort the mismatch between the TDCi engine and the Durashift gearbox? What is it like to drive in practice? (Thought someone else asked this question recently but can't find it.)

Fuel cons'n figs still don't look that good in comparison. Is it worth arranging a test drive or merely a waste of salesman's and my time? The driving experience is more important than the figures.

Plus of course the auto is only available with Euro III engine which is another big minus.

Would appreciate objective comments.
