Looks a nice car tunnie. Lots of space in the boot. Are the rear seats comfy for an adult on longish journeys? So many we have looked at seem to be designed for two adults in front and kids in the back.

Bit worrying this talk about dual clutches. :o That is putting a damper on my two current hot favourites ( Passat and Mondeo estates)

I was surprised how comfortable the dinky seats in the Zafira-A were, when I was put in the back a month or so ago. Granted, only a short journey.

Both my 80yr old Mum and "middle age" Mrs TB (:P) have done 90min+ stints in them and both said they were comfortable :)

Quite pleased to find that Ford have added a gas strut to the bonnet on this Mondeo, only one, but its a start. I've come across another nice touch, driver's mirror dips on reversing, useful, it should be both sides. :( Still the camera is very good. :y

Try sliding the mirror adjustment switch from driver mirror to passenger mirror. When mine is set to 'drivers mirror' the passenger mirror dips and vice versa.
Mine is not a Mondeo but it's worth trying on yours if you have memory function.  :y

It's not a standard feature.

Yes, park assist, lane assist, traffic distance keeping and Active City stop. Haven't tried anything yet, spent today changing the TD ATF prior to sale :y

be careful where you leave your keys,criminal types use scanners to pick up codes and drive off in your nice new motor.
mate had his Nissan xtrail taken that way.
