They are great estate, lots of room in the back, lots of toys. Can be found cheap, tolerant to abuse and missing servicing.
To drive they are a bit disconnected from the road. Used one to drive to southern Paris on non toll roads. Mondeo MK3 was more fun with even with cheap tyres.
Have you driven one?
Nice space wise and spec wise but...I could never get the driver seat comfortable. Never figured out why.
