Told ya.

Like I said, I have no axe to grind.  I just drive cars for a while.... some I like better than others, some I like different to others.  

I liked my diesel Mondeo (so I know where you're coming from).... and I like the Terri too.  The BEST aspect of the Terri is its diesel engine IMO....the worst is its big fat floppy drunken sailor handling.  Whereas the Mondeo is a pretty sporty drive.

I forgot, you're being sensible. ;D
Pity they didn't make a V8 territory.

Petrol Territory is a notoriously thirsty pig.  If Georgiou wants to double his current fuel bill, only a V8 would be a better candidate  ;D

Just saying.

Coz its all academic to me.

Turbo Terry is a rocket, but a fuel pig and really hard on it's AWD bushes.

Petrol Terry is a shocker on fuel too.

If I didn't already have a Mondeo, I'd get the Titanium wagon, but I don't really want two cars the same. Family (myself included) wants an SUV.

If you wanna spend shitloads on petrol, buy a V8 Commodore Sportwagon.

Grunt and handling.

Sounds like fun burning all that fuel. Who ever thought wagons could be so hot?

I've played the "what would I have if not the diesel Territory" game a number of times....

I have the freedom to choose... and its not my money that pays for my fuel....

The sporting wagon vs fuel economy balance (yes call me responsible) leads me to a Benz C-class diesel wagon....  500Nm  [evil] and all on the smell of an oily rag too... but.... 

I'd feel like too much of a wanker driving a three-pointed-star  [laugh]

Be thankful you've never had an Avensis. An emasculating experience.
