We get sooooo many complaints about the 6dct450 dual clutch box its not funny... An its all normal... They are a great car but if your driving style doesnt suit the box youl hate it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82410-mondeo-diesel-turbo/#findComment-1309708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_mate Member 767 Member For: 19y 4m 10d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 15/10/12 10:44 AM Share Posted 15/10/12 10:44 AM yeah looking at a petrol. Had a look at several today at Q Ford but didn't drive one, might take one for a steer in the coming days.Hopefully the missus and I like it, otherwise its the i30 or mazda 3 - I prefer the Focus though (on paper and based on a static viewing anyway).

I think it drives fine but it takes a bit to get used to. Quite a sluggish car too but I'm sure the Mondeo would be a bit better.

I have it as my work car and do about 7,000 ks a month.
