Aye that's true! Plus of course a Mondeo has better headlights and considerably better steering lock!

My Mondeo has Xenon and I feel they are weak. On high beam, the Xenons stay on together with the mains, and light is good. Not excellent, but quite good. Maybe it's just me preferring the more yellow light from normal bulbs, but I've driven cars with Xenons much better than the ones on my Ford. Like the current Passat and Octavia.
Still, I find that a yellow-ish light makes it easier to see bumps etc. in the road. Which is why I ordrered my coming S40 with standard headlamps (H4) |

Ouch too many childhood memories in that one!
Rowhedge, Colchester 1976 - 1981. My father used to drive a dark reddish-purple one back and forth to Essex University, although I was only 2months - 5 years old at that time, I remember it well, and the family photo album will remind of it eternally, with me sitting on its bonnet and the cat sniffing the front tyre . I also remember how my dad would get cross over village chavs, "punks" as we called them then, nicking petrol from its tank ... they would always keep the fuel cap too!
