New Mondeo Specs Out Now - Page 2

RicOz · 06-07-2009, 11:24 AM

FYI.. I enquired about the price of a Mondeo Wagon Zetec over the weekend. RRP was $37,990 plus onroads.

Not too bad. Thats pretty much $1,000 for extra luggage, bluetooth and colour HMI display and crome window lining, compaired to the current MA Zetec Hatch at $36,990.

The only time I have been a passenger in my XR5 is when I am too drunk to drive and let the fiance drive. The key sits in my pocket.

Dusty1 · 06-07-2009, 09:46 PM

The keyless start does sound like the go now then.

That's what the forum is all about - ask the question, get the explanation. Excellent.

Good to see that the problems with the keyless start aren't appearing that much any more.

GoAuto finally gets its facts right:

"The new Titanium hatch will cost $42,990 for the petrol model and $45,990 for the diesel."

That's not too bad. Way back in early November 07, my TCCi hatch with sunroof, bluetooth, and heated leather seats cost me $44K and some change. So at $46K with the updated display, standard bluetooth and sunroof, isn't a large increase.

It doesn't say that these are the drive away prices, so should we assume they are or aren't? Ford hasn't updated their pricing yet.

These definately NOT including onroads, I rang a few days ago to confirm price of the Zetec wagon.

daz82 · 08-07-2009, 12:29 PM

Correct, does not include ORC.

After a more recent update to the stupid pricing laws, It is my understanding that Car companies can advertise the non-driveaway price but dealers must advertise driveaway prices.

This is crap because I have been quoted 3 different drive away prices from 3 dealers so far for the new Zetec Wagon.

$39,490, $41,000 and $42,000.

This industry is still as a lot of explaining to do.

No it doesn't. That's competition. You don't want that removed.

The legislation is designed so that when you hear the price, you know it's Drive Away, or that they clearly state how much extra drive away is.

What you received is correct. Three drive away prices. All you need to do now is choose the Dealer that you prefer and drive off in your noew Mondeo!

You can be quoted as many prices as you like. The law is only meant for advertising.

All of a sudden the Titanium hatch is looking like being close to $48K on the road. Getting up there now. Makes for a tough choice.

Anyone got any idea of the driveaway pricing? With an extra $1K for a wagon, I reckon I'd be sticking with the hatch.

Sweet. I've rung around dealers in Sydney and they only seem to be getting in Black or Silver. Do you know if there are many Frozen Whites coming in for Zetec Wagon?

I'm in Melbourne and will be looking to upgrade. Can you PM me the price for a Titanium petrol and TDCi? I need to start budgeting.

Thanks in advance. And I won't post the price, so your principal won't have to tear you a new one!

Crazed · 08-07-2009, 12:53 PM

Geeze, the Titanium has got excellent specs: collision warning, adaptive cruise, cornering headlights. Its probably the best value of the range, especially with its alacantra trim, sports suspension, sunroof.. and a lot of other things, wow.

It leaves me thinking of the one that got away. Hopefully they'll add the Titanium Diesel Wagon soon.

Does anyone know if the USB allows the updated HMI to control an iPod?

Page 6 of the brochure says: plug your USB or MP3 player into the USB port, and see your favourite tracks appear on the car's dashboard display. To control the music, jsut operate the steering wheel toggles or issue voice commands...

Page 7 says: An auzillary jack is available on every Mondeo so you can plug your iPod or MP3 player and have it play through the car's audio system.

I take this to mean that the Titanium, Zetec and XR5, get the USB port, which allows for iPod integration and the LX does not. Jeez, the LX is really starting to look like the poverty pack sales rep special.

phoonfan · 15-07-2009, 06:09 PM

Here you go!!! got 'em done eventually!

Rapscallion · 15-07-2009, 07:57 PM

Thanks Phoonfan. Looks great.

NZ XR6 · 15-07-2009, 10:07 PM

Would look even better in black! I'll post some photos of my wagon with 17" wheels once I wash it!

cammag · 15-07-2009, 11:58 PM

I am not a big fan of the family planners, but that does look very nice.

Thanks phoonfan

naddis01 · 16-07-2009, 12:40 AM

Its a real pity the Wagon isnt available in diesel or XR5 form. It would be a much better proposition if this was the case in my opinion.

Ford would have rocks in their heads not to look at the diesel wagon in the near future. But the $1K premium for the wagon over the hatch is a bit stiff.

Zippy7 · 17-07-2009, 03:01 PM

Hey Phoonfan,

Any chance of you posting a pic of the wagon with tailgate open, right next to a hatch with the tailgate open?

I find my hatch opening way too high. I am interested to know if the wagon tailgate is going to open as high, or open up to a more reasonable height.

Cheers.

I think there is a pic of a wagon boot opening in the Sticky section up the top of this Mondeo forum.

I have seen it in the flesh. Its not as high. Nice height very big luggage space and a retractible cover for hiding luggage.

I took a test drive. Its quite a long car but drives very nice. Easier to see out of the back window and also blindspot too.

daz82 · 17-07-2009, 05:18 PM

I couldn't give you exact measurements but the load over point is about 8cm? lower on the wagon and is flat with no lip

The wagon is lower - I find it just the right height. And there is no lip at the back.

You'll love the wagon - I can't understand why Ford Oz have taken nearly 2 years to get it, and then no diesel version. About half of the Mondeos on the road in NZ would be the wagon.
