"Dour and Drab" No, "Cosy" yes!
The two cars we have are like chalk and cheese so far as interior feel is concerned. I find the Territory "open and airy" whereas the Mondeo is as I have said I regard as "cosy" and I like driving both of them.
But both have niggles:
In the T I dislike having to reach forward to change the trip computer display mode (It makes me feel I'm not in proper control of the car) and in the Mondeo, when I have the seat at the height I prefer I find the rear view mirror getting into my sight line when looking left and the mirror isn't adjustable for height like it is in the T so I'm sitting a bit lower than I would like to avoid this. And in the Mondeo the rear view when reversing is horrible compared with the T ( makes me smile when I hear or read comments about poor view in SUVs)
But in both cars I find the materials quality quite acceptable and durable, especially in the T which is now past 10 years of age.
But I'm very unlikely to base a purchase decision on the comment of motoring journalists about interior feel. Their opinion(s) are their opinions and they are entitled - I'm entitled to ignore them!!
Cheers
