• Mondeo, 2.0 or 2.5? Also other questions 11 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  examples, and consider 2.5\'s as well. However, insurance isn\'t the only concern. One of the other reasons why I had chosen the 2.0 over the 2.5 was perceived reliability. I figured the 2.0 would be cheaper to service and less likely to suffer horrific wallet destroying faliure than the 2.5 V6. Am I
