The XR5 Mondeo is a beautiful car and the value you get both finish and feature wise is arguably better than the Falcon XR6T. The closest Ford equivalent IMO is the G6ET, not the XR6T. I say this after my experience with my sister’s recent purchase of the Titanium Diesel version. It's absolutely stunning inside.

But when it come to performance, including going around corners I think you might be either over estimating the XR5 Mondeo's ability, or underestimating the FG XR6T’s. The FG XR’s are fast around corners and straight lines, very fast. Their rear wheel drive architecture and chassis balance allows them to use all that power and more importantly torque, very effectively.
