Maybe not styling like the skoda but the mondeo is going pretty good so far. Easily fits the UFO inside with plenty of room to spare. Like them turbo diesels too.
OK, had the wagon for a few days now.
The only bad point is that the passenger front headrest is not removable (like the mazda3) so the board is balancing on the headrest when inside.
The good points:
- it easily fits longboards on roof and inside
- are fuel economy IS excellent,
- motor is reasonably grunty for a family wagon,
- I am told that all the panels are all galvanised, good for salty environments
Got you, that was from google images. Mine is white though, will snap a pic of mine next time she's loaded up
Had a good day today in small waves, paddling power is much better. Popups are getting there. Caught this very small wave, son could not believe I got on it and went so far. Amazing how small a wave you can take on a LB if you get up to speed.
Ready for my next lesson from the best teacher on the sunny coast.

hey riverider, do you lay the back seat forward and the front seat back? When I do this the board still rests on the headrest and slides towards the driver slowly.
Lay the front seat back, then stick the nose or tail of the board in the passenger foot well, I've had a 10' in my car with a few inches to spare.
Why muck around - get a Landcruiser covers every base - reckon i could lay a 12'down in mine.
believe it or not, I can fit my 9 footer into my toyota corrolla ascent hatchback.
doors closed and everything.
(wifey has stolen the landcruiser so I a relegated to her 2002 corolla
