Looking to win friends and influence people? Nope? Well why not consider a used Mondeo? Lets face it, at 19-Grand when new, a less than 2 years old “Ghia” with all the toys you’ll ever need, could be yours for only 6 and a half - tops! But will you still be smiling into your illuminated vanity mirror with a years worth of “chucky” left to pay? Can you live with the niggles? After all you may be signing up for a 3-year relationship! Let me explain. My Mondeo 2.0i Ghia Automatic Hatchback is now almost 2 years old with 34,000 miles up, regularly serviced and always driven conservatively. In fairness, it’s been ...  Read the complete review

As I have mentioned in earlier opinions, the Ford has a special place in my repertoire of Motorised Horseless Carriages. Having driven every model of Ford, manufactured and sold for the UK market, in the last 5 years, I feel I have an understanding of the product slightly higher than average. Therefore, when starting my own business, almost 1 month ago, guess which Manufacturer I choose as my company car provider? That’s right, Lada! No, no, only pulling your leg, I had great pleasure in buying myself a Mondeo Ghia X 2.5 V6 5dr Hatchback, in Electric Current Red. Naturally, being a small dealer, with a stock of only 15 ...  Read the complete review

If variety is the spice of life I’m stuck with a dry piece of bread when it comes to cars. I currently drive a selection of five vehicles, one of which is a Fiat Tipo Diesel (So you can imagine how exciting that is!) and the other four are Mondeos. I own a 2000 model 2-litre Zetec five door bought with my own cash, not a company deal, so I did indeed have the freedom of the market place. At work I drive from a fleet of three 1998 2.5-litre Si five door models. Lets face it, the early Mondeos of 1993 and the following three years were nails. Great improvements have now been made in build quality, reliability and more recently handling. The latest Zetec model ...  Read the complete review

Currently driving a 1.8TD Ghia model. It has electric sunroof, mirrors, heated front and rear screens, electric seats A/c and enough to keep you busy. But thats only superficial stuff because it adds nothing to the driving experience. I always feel the Diesel engine hard work to drive when its cold, tough to engage in gear and struggles to gain the acceleration after having first start up in the morning unless you rev the nuts off it. I always let the turbo wind down before i turn off the engine by leaving it idle for 30 secs to let the oil continue to feed the turbo to hopefully make life for it last a bit longer. The car's performance when up to ...  Read the complete review
