oh my gosh, is that genuine solid ecologically managed oiled walnut plastic on the dashboard - classy!
On reflection, I could live with that happily, over the dreadful Amstrad / Pifco silver spray plastic of the Mondeo. when I first walked in a showroom and sat in one I was astonished. After reading endless journo's telling me what a quantum leap Ford quality had taken, Ford marketing must have put a hell of a bar tab up at the press review party is all I can say.
I climbed back into my Honda Accord twiddled a few buttons for reassurance and all felt well again.
