No I have not driven one .
I dont choose interior size over drivability . We have no snow or ice were i live and with traction controls and stability control standard now even thats a mute point . Why would i choose a car that has worse balence and worse handling . An the design limits the amount of power you put down instead of bieng limited by how well you can drive.
They engine bays are usually packed in that tight that if any thing goes wrong you just about need pull the engine out to get to it .
Fwd is a (a to b) car and cars mean alot more to me then just that.

Sorry to hear that. I currently drive a Titanium and love it. Came out of an FG XR6 Turbo with Luxury pack and the handling and grip of the Mondeo is simply astonishing. I much prefer It to my Turbo. Cars are my life and income and I have had 2 FWD cars that have simply blown me away, both Euro Fords. I recommend taking one for a long spirited drive if ever you get a chance. They have to be driven to be believed.
