Its ok at that speed but you need a man on your bonnet holding a red flag to let people know your coming, especially now your exhaust is quieter.

erm... I own both, a Williams 1 and a new shape 2.2 diesel mondeo. The mondeo, whilst heavy has 175bhp but a mammoth 420N/m of torque with overboost... In gear, the mondeo will leave the Williams for dead, but off the line the Williams is far quicker.

A to B if the road was twisty mondeo has lovely steering and handles superbly but I think I would be fractionally quicker in the Williams....

I also own a Williams and a 2.2 tdci mondeo (although mine is the mk3 and not the latest version with the revised engine). However, it's a great car and for day to day driving it's a real pleasure, returning 51 mpg with the way I drive so slowly nowadays . O-60 times don't really concern me like they used to. For me it's all about general driving pleasure. The Williams has that in spades, but I still love driving my Mondeo :D

If I came to change the Mondeo, (and I'd struggle to justify it considering how good the car is) I'd get another with the 2.2 tdci engine or I'd go for a BMW 335d because I'm becoming a big fan of these fancy new auto gearboxes and I'd have all the power I could want for realistic everyday driving.

In an article i read the other day he was saying his Diesel Modeo was a faster car.

Recent back-to-back blasts on the roads in Evo Towers' back garden between my Williams clio and a 2.2-litre diesel Mondeo revealed that the impressive pace of a well sorted hot hatch, one which still feels quick 15 years after it stopped production, struggles to match that of a decent diesel.

Absolute bollocks.

I thought the article made a relevant point for the modern motoring enthusiast.
