Last time I called in for an alternator for one, the guy on the other end of the phone knew exactly what it was for when I gave him the part number before he even put it into the system ![]() Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 11-02-2017 at 04:28 PM. |

Very good a/c in my Mondeo. Equivalent to any Falcon I've ever owned.

It always amuses me when people mention this 'soul' thing. does it have a part no.? where abouts is it fitted?
Pretty sure all cars are made the same. saying one car is better than another because of something make believe is a bit of a long bow. |

It's not quite as cold as my BF (but then again, neither was the FG2 and FGX XR6s which I've driven), which was on par with an AU3 as having the best air cond in any car I've been in. Nevertheless, the air cond in my MD is very good - worked extremely well over the summer here, and much improved over past iterations of the Mondeo.

I thought Kia was the only car company with a Soul.

Honestly, does anyone get this for a Mondeo? Yet you can see this in Falcon owners, from base model to GT. Quote:
Also, what if your local footy team sacked all of its local players and instead sent in a team of overseas players, would you view them the same? |

Geez big deal if you like mondeos you like mondeos, if you like falcons you like falcons. We're all different that's what makes us human. I only own falcons and I'm pretty sure I'll never own a mondeo does it mean one is better then the other NO it's just my personal choice. Yes I'm sorry for all the aussie workers that lost their jobs, that's fords choice so I understand people being bitter about it. Nothing to get your knickers in a knot about some people will stick with their aussie built ford (im sticking with my falcons) others will move on to mondeos, mustangs and rangers ect. I'm sure some will have good experiences some will have bad. At the end of the day it's just part of the walk of life.

why not.
my FG is the best falcon i've owned, and i've owned every model since XF (except AU, but pretty confident FG is still better). I still like it and think its a great car, but it has nothing to do with going fast, or handling, as i don't drive like that. The mondeo is pretty much top of the list to replace it, and i would think exactly the same about the mondeo. To me it would still be my car, and i would be proud of it and look after it the same i have with all my cars. |

I don't see why people even compare the two - the Mondeo is so far ahead it's not even comparable. Yes, I would. I would back my team no matter what. My support for them is unconditional.
