Mondeo TDCI 115ps vs 130ps

[mike_5041059]

I have my heart set on a Mondeo Tdci (hatchback) but don't know which one. 115ps or 130ps.Is there much difference between the 2 when towing? Or reliability, servicing costs etc? Anyone towed with both?

Any comments good or bad greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Hi,

I have the 115 TDDI and my son has the 130 TDCI. Both seeem to give around 50mpg on normal running with near 57mpg on long motorway runs. The 115 is good but the 130 is so much better. The engine seems smoother and it hasa torque boost mode when pulling hard to overtake. This lifts its torque for about 5-10 seconds. Can't say waht they are like towing as I usea Kia Sorento to tow with, but do see many Mondeos pulling vans up to Pageant size but they are probably above the 85% limit.

Cheers
