Parking in first without the handbrake.

I do mean Estate, we had an SUV recently and even though it was good just didn't have the boot space required.. I am currently using a mondeo estate for a few months, and if you can get your head round the fact it is a Mondeo it is actually a very good car

Terrific car. Ford have got things spot on in general at present.

The RX has lots and lots of space in the back, and in March they are launching a lengthened version with 7 seats.

If you're really after an estate you might look at the Volvo V60. A little on the dull side, but extremely competent.

Yes, but... Ford. If any company is in need of a rebrand, it's Ford imo.

They have a history of building great cars, in amongst the Sierra-type dross. Consider the early Cortina, the Escort, the 3 litre Granadas. The current Fiesta is an especially fine car. Good company, Ford.

I mean, compare theiur product over the years with their traditional biggest rivel - Vauxhall.

I don't dispute what you say, but as a brand, they're always going to feel a bit low-rent, aren't they?

I once briefly had a highly-specced Vectra from the work pool and it was an extraordinary piece of shít. It felt like it was made of lead, had all the oomph of a milk float and generally felt like quite a comfortable hearse.

I have a 12 year old Astra SXi, and it's been fab. Zips around and only had one problem with it.

I know nothing of the SXi so cannot comment. The Vectra was my one and only experience of Vauxhalls.
