    It isn't the I30 , as the one in the I'll be seeing is a diesel.
    Seems like it might be the i30 but with a diesel.

    I checked carzone.ie for specs.
    I40 max speed 118mph, 0-60 in 12 secs. Engine size 1.7 diesel
    Mondeo max speed 130mph, 0-60 in 9 secs for a 2l Diesel engine.
    Big difference in spec tbh. Would far prefer the Mondeo especially for the motorway runs towards Dublin with the u/ts

    Jesus Christ, 12 seconds for a Cop car!!!

    That's a joke

    In other news, there's supposedly 35 Honda Deauville 700cc motorbikes landing in March, however I doubt they'll be any different than the current crop.

    Not half enough. Also, the Deau is no longer being produced by Honda, so all will be in service for quite a while to come. Replacement for the Larger bikes is also a pressing issue. The longer the wait, the less advanced motorcyclists there will be.

    A bike is 78c a kilometre to run, a diesel is 29c a kilometre, so I'm surprised they're even getting any bikes at all!

    There is reason other than cost to have motorcycles, and there are shelves full of reasons in the Garda College Library. I presume you include the PPE in the cost per km?

    I don't think PPE is included in that. Those figures were quoted by the Depot on a bike repair application.

    Repair? Did they crash it weekly? That doesn't add up.

    I wondered having read here on this very informative thread, would I easily spot one of AGS's new i30 unmarked patrol cars. Considering of course the usual and obvious attachments are no longer as blatant.
    So thank you to the lads who parked their new unmarked Hyundai i30 car in the Garda Only parking spot outside the front door of Anglesea station.

    Because they were too late to use the car park at the back.
