Replacement Car

Well it's unfortunate but the Passat has gone back, was Impressed by the collection chap who stated that the VW was the cleanest car he had collected this year. 
So it's replacement is a Mondeo, similar miles to the VW when I got that, and as the lease is a short one, it would appear that I only have this one until March next year.
So first impressions, are good. The trim level is slightly higher than the VW which is a better drive, but already loving the Bluetooth and Stereo that does seem a better unit. The 1.6 motor is a bit gutless and the clutch feels like its on its way out but if I can nurse it to March then it's the next owners job. Have been spraying some product inside as it was previously a smokers car, but not letting this affect ownership of the car. 
So far, even the kids prefer the ride, and am loving the electric windows in the back with a handy switch to stop the angels from operating. This also activates the child locks so another plus point for Ford. 

Will start the serious driving on Monday and that will be the first use of the lights as its an early start. 

Still believe the VW badge is better but the Ford isn't as far away as they used to be. 

This might be a fun 6mths.
