Make the most of it, Ford.

Even the sedans look good this time around, has there been any change with being able to get a base model TDi manual?

I like the Mustard Olive !!! its the only "bright colour" in the range..Missus doesn't like it, she likes Lunar Sky then Midnight Sky...not enough "bright" clours in the whole Ford range...
