I picked up my Mondeo MC Zetec EcoBoost Hatch earlier this week and I am really enjoying the drive. It is a little different to the Territory I have had for the last 5-1/2 years and I suppose I'll start cursing those ^#*&^%# SUVs when I can't see around them! Marge will be using the Territory as her daily drive now, so we are keeping it in the family.

The Mondeo is a marvellous piece of engineering and with the drive away pricing and cash back that Ford are offering this month it is sensational value for $33K. The equipment, room, performance and technology is as good as many supposedly premium brands.

I have a couple of questions that I'm sure the collective wisdom in this forum can answer for me.

1 - The manual and brochure says it has a perimeter alarm fitted, but is pretty light on details of what version is actually fitted and if it has any of the variety of settings available. Any more information available?
2 -The tyres are Goodyear Efficientgrip 215/50-17 95W. The local Goodyear website doesn't list any tyres that size with the same speed and weight ratings. Hopefully I won't need tyres for a long while, but are they available or what other quality tyres have people used?
3 - I'm not a fan of space saver tyres as I do a bit of country driving and I may look at replacing it with a standard road wheel. I realise that I'll have to put some spacers under the boot carpet to raise it, but can anyone confirm that the 16" or 17" road wheels will fit within the wheel well?
4 - The sound system is certainly much better than the "Premium" unit fitted to the Territory but for the life of me I can't find the sub-woofer. Where is it?
5 - I enjoy chatting to the voice control lady, but I feel that she needs a name. I'm thinking of something suitable for an upper class and refined English lady. Any suggestions?

I found that in the Territory forum any question could be answered and I am confident the same will apply here. Thank you in advance for your replies.

Regards,
Canyonero.
