> It's not fair to compare a Mondeo with a Ka, unless costs enter the comparison. The Mondeo is nearly twice as expensive as a Ka. The Mondeo can carry 4 people with luggage in comfort (5 if they're friends), whereas the Ka is 2-person-and-maybe-an-infant-(not a baby, cause their 'luggage' needs a bus)-car. I don't understand why a garage would give you that replacement.

It was a courtesy car. Garages won't keep big cars as courtesy cars pecisely because of the costs of running them. They have to keep them serviced and looking good for their customers so they want to keep costs down. Besides, mine is a company car anyway so I take what I get.
