After our Mondeo got hit whilst parked for the second time in the space of 18 months, we decided it was time to trade it in for something smaller. Much as we loved the Mondeo, it was no longer practical, having moved to a house closer to mine and my husband's work it just wasn't getting the use anymore and didn't justify the cost of running it. The struggle to find parking spaces big enough was a nightmare, as was the problem of people parking opposite our driveway and trying to manouvre the Mondeo in backwards around the lamppost and between the two brick walls without hitting the car parked opposite, it just wasn't worth the hassle!
