(Here's mine RS but It don't has the RS-bodykit, that I want in the game)

Powertrain: 2544 cc , V6 , 170 hp / 6250 rpm , 220 Nm / 4250 rpm , 5-speed manual

Dimensions: Length 4481 mm , Width 1747 mm , Height 1424 mm , Weight 1340 kg

Performance: Top speed 225 km/h , 0-100 km/h 8,1 sec

Information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondeo#First_generation_.281992.E2.80.931996.29

I suggest this car because I had a Mondeo RS Hatch '96, with a Escort RS Cosworth engine, as my first car. It was not an official production car so I suggest the model that are nearest in performance, therefore the V6 RS :)

RS were only a trim level of the Mondeo 2.0i Zetec and 2,5 Duratec V6 with an sportier interior and exterior design. The interior had bucket seats and the exterior for the simpler RS had these five spokes alloy wheels and a wing with brake light , with the more expensive grade of the RS level the car looks like the one on the picture here under :)

(But this has the smaller wing on the trunk and wrong exhaust system :() I give up

This car is also known as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique in North America, the 2.5 V6 was the best seller in the Contour/Mystique line (I believe it was the same with the Mondeo for European markets). The US didn't get a RS version, but it does look nice.

Yes I know, but these cars (US) has an another front, if I don't remember wrong? Na, If I understand the specifications right so was the inline-4 more common, specially in the UK.

The North American version was a bit heavier due to added safety features and reinforcements necessary to meet US-DOT regulations, which made it a bit more front-heavy and combined with reduced power from 170hp to 160hp, the Contour SE was slower from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) than the Euro-Spec Mondeo 2.5 V6 (8.9sec for US-Spec vs 8.1sec in Euro-Spec).

Ok, that's interesting, but it's not much slower :P
