We have run three manual Mondeo estates on the mag - 2.5T petrol (awesome, thirsty), 140PS TDCi (good) and our current 163PS TDCi Zetec - All fabulous towcars that I've towed with and would recommend without reservation. I have towed with a Powershift auto, last year at the Towcar Awards, and liked it very much However, I know that some people on the forum have struggled with the auto box and I'm sure they will be along shortly!
