"ford, ford, 4 wheels and a board."

yes.

fords have come on recently but theyre still fords.

sierras werent bad though, i learnt to drive in a 1.8L sierra estate rear wheel drive monster haha.

sierras not a classic i admit but these days fords win most things , ncap ratings for safety and good security for cars such as the focus. My mondeos been around the world just about and hasnt let me down yet. There are better cars out there but overall for price reliability cost of running ease of getting the parts you need and choice , i think ford are one of the best .

Dont get me wrong im not a avid ford fanatic , i wouldnt allways buy ford and ive had loads of different motors in my time , but as i state for simple everday running there good .

each to their own but ive driven loads of different cars fords, volvos, toyotas, fiats, audis , bw's etc etc and the fords ive driven have been just as good as most others ive traveled in..

the best gear box ive used belonged to a ford puma , very nicely put together close ratio and slick.  Most compfortable is my currant car , leather heated seats leccy adjustable drivers seat, aircon and sunroof (which is unusual) heated front windscreen (also unusual) heated mirrors etc etc great value for money and the best equipped car by far , again a ford .

Again each to thier own but untill a ford lets me down  which non ive had or been involved in have , then ill stay a ford fan.

ok try these on for size :

Porche 911 carrera bucket seats sport suspension too hard.

Volvo t4 just about as comfortable as the ford but no leccy or heated seats.

Scooby = nice n fast but uncomfortable hard ride,

Audi A6 turbo tdi ok but again no heated seats and not leccy .

pug 206 gti = small seat pedals off set to the left awkward driving posistion

pug 209 gti = not bad but harsh ride again

Landrover Disco seats were hard on the bot after a hr or so etc etc etc

 . My mondeo isnt just a standard run of the mill as i said its leather heated fully adjustable up/down and tilt seats and all for 8k when i bought it nearly new , 24 k new . Im talking for the money ,not top of the range merc or bm's or Astons and such like here.

tbh i think the seats in the 911 are crackin and really comfortable for the car that it is, and the suspension is pretty good, leg room kills it for me. Although it is a supercar....therefore it wud never be sold with soft suspension?

scooby - once again its obviously going to have hard adjusted suspension its a performance car.

a6 - it must have been the cheapest one possible not to have those features? lol and it musta came close 2 a mondeo in comfort?

206 gti - i heard bad things about them...quite uncomfortable on the standard wheels and tramline like hell, apaprently not to bad if you drop em down to 16's though. Once again a gti - not exactly going to be sold for comfort though.

I still can't beleive that its the most comfortable car.  Fair enough for the price range aye, but you didn't say that to start with. I'm not saying bad cars as i know they are quite decent. I still reckon for the money you could get more comfort though.
