Hi everyone,a merry xmas and a happy new year to you all.

i am thinking of changing my car,update,anyone any comments regarding the ford mondeo 2.0 diesel,the toyota avensis 2.2 diesel or the vw passat 2.0 diesel.suggestions or experience appreciated.  regards john

Presumably new cars?  The Mondeo was second in the CC towcar of the year last year, it was second to the Mondeo with the V6  2.5 petrol engine.

Skoda Octavia 4x4 or the scout version, they both have the the same mpg as the 2wd but only use the 4x4 system when its needed oh £120 RFL

Took mine up Sutton Bank the other day in the snow dodging all the abandoned cars and vans

Got to ask, if it's such a fab motor........Why do you want to change it?

I have one too. Had it longer than I normally keep cars and I keep looking at others but I always come back to "whats wrong with the passat" and I keep it. Its fast, economical, excellent tow car, comfortable and will do more miles than I will drive in my (hopefully) long remaining life.

That's what I keep telling myself about the diesel Omega, while it's doing the job why change. And if it doesn't cost a fortune to keep it maintained and road worthy it'll do for me.

Thats the dilemma.It is a superb motor and does everything asked of it but you can't keep it for ever.i've had it for nine years and its never let me down but its not getting any younger,like me,so its got to be another younger passat.

thanks for all the interest.  john
