things to look out for

Lol, I never said I liked the Pug! Them and Fiat would have to be the last 2 car companies on the world before I bought one with my hard earned! The interior is still nicer tho

The Cupra feels a little rattly than the FR I had tho? Maybe it's just me, or, maybe i've spent to much time with my company car? And, before anyone wants to slate my other car, yes it's a Ford, and it wears a Mondeo badge. It's far from perfect, but the interior is like a Mercedes compared to the Seat!

The Fabia interior is way better than the Ibiza one

I agree with the PUG's and Fiats, however I have been in many different Mk4 Ibizas and have found them all to be pretty much the same for build quality.

As for the Mondeo if its the new one then the build quality is actually outstanding and it is hard to believe you are sat in a ford.

Lol, I wouldn't of had a Ford if I was buying for myself, but it's a bit different to what I were expecting because I was really prepared to hate it... My company dont supply VAG cars, so it was between a Mondeo or Vectra, Ergh...

It's not the new one tho, it's 2006 registered, and I have had it for about 14 months now. Model spec is 2.2 TDCi Titanium:

It's alright, but nothing special. The beezer is much, much more fun, and is reserved for evening / weekend use

Also, the Seat looks better and is more reliable - If only we had Leon Cupra's on the company car stock list...

I never had a problem with build quality in 4 years .Theres no rattles, nothings fallen off,paintworks fine ..maybe I just got a good one .
having said that ,the glovebox door was a bit loose though at first , its held on with two screws just tighten them up.
