It actually started out as a high-spec limousine type service - UberX,
the "cheap and cheerful" version, came later but is winning the battle.

What's wrong with a 5 year old Mondeo?


Not an awful lot - I do think they are too tight on the spec for UberX.


You could buy the previous gen of Mondeo with a nice 3.0 V6. But its all
droning thrashy 4 cylinders in the current lot presumably for emissions
reasons. Not quite what you want in a limo.
