Get a Mondeo/Vectra instead. Loads cheaper and more to choose from, and cheaper to repair, fix etc. Although i guess they dont have the same 'image'.
Image is irrelevant . . . Fords (of which I have had a few) simply don't last like Audi's (of this I have had a few also) . . . long term the cheaper cars end up costing a whole load more money and time to keep running . . . this is not an opinion . . . it's direct experience of running cars until they need scrapped . . .

ETA : IF you can - get it VagCom'd . . . very useful tool for VAG owners
