Wow i've been in ford cars for the last 7 years with no faults at all and no oil needed, I thought the passat was just as good if not better ??? than the mondeo.
i'll have to deep drill the list when it comes out

its a myth in my experience that german marques are the best..i was sucked in by the hype (plus couldnt afford a good spec mondy at the time )...add to that the higher cost of parts (£700+ to renew a diesel injector for instance !!!! ) and it aint economically viable to run one if you are going to be paying for repairs yourself.
nice cars all the same but the failure rate of stuff ive never had go wrong with cars before and the cost to put right means id not go back to vw anytime soon
Ditto here with a VW built Ford Galaxy, and a recently bodyshop loaned VW passat was a real eye opener, most annoying car ever!
