Hello everyone,

I'm 19, from the Isle of Wight and currently driving a Ford Mondeo.

Am not sure if I should get a mk3 Mondeo or a Octavia vRS?

Quite fancy a turbo car and the vRS seems one of the cheaper turbo'd cars to insure.

Has anyone driven a mk3 Mondeo? How would it compare to the vRS handling wise?

Cheers,

Stu

Welcome to Briskoda. Shame you did not join a few months ago, we had a meet to the Isle of Wight a few weeks ago.

Not sure about handling, but welcome to briskoda

Which trim level Mk3 Mondeo did you have in mind ... I have a little experience of them?

Welcome to Briskoda

Cheers everyone,

I was looking at the 2.0 TDCi Zetec or Ghia mate

Hello and welcome.

Cheers everyone,

I was looking at the 2.0 TDCi Zetec or Ghia mate

In my experience, these handle as well as the Mk1 vRS on the smooth stuff and significantly better over more typical A and B roads as they're much better at soaking up bumps. The Zetec S and ST220 will be much better than the Mk1 vRS in all conditions

I work over the water in Winchester so if you're ever over this way, I'll show you what a Ghia X can do
