  automatic, but I'm coming up with a dead end everywhere I look. All the alternatives (Touran, Verso, Grand Picasso C4) seem to have auto gearbox problems. The Mazda 5 looks a bit small; the Honda FRV has that awful 2 x 3 seating, while the Grandis fuel consumption is too much. Hence, Zafira looks
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - Buying a 04 diesel auto. 16 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  After owning a Honda crv which is a very reliable car, i am getting sick of weekly trips to the petrol station to fill it up, so i am looking at a Mondeo 2004 diesel auto with 87k miles and a full fsh ( ex fleet ). Having read quite a few threads now it has left me stumped, some love em some hate

• How Long Before? (Tyre Related) 25 Aug 2007 (Forum)
