Ford Mondeo (2000 on) in general

Now I have never been a fan of ford as the reliability issue has been just a little too much for me to consider but I have recently had the chance to use the 2000 mondeo for a while and I have to say I have split opinions of it. It car is mid size between a standard hatchback and an estate, Being the very generic car shape and style. However as its simple it is not bad to look at it is simply a car. The interior is simple and attractive and I will say comfortable. It is spacious inside with a good sized five seats however the boot is smaller than you may think as it is low due to the way the back comes down on the car. And I do not like taking out a ...  Read the complete review

I was lucky enough to be offered a comapny car this year and had the opportunity to pick from a restricted list of cars. I opted for a Mondeo 1.8TDCi Titanium X and it was delivered in March 2009. I could speak robotically straight from the Ford website and car manual about performance and brake-horse power and at the end of this review all you would have learnt is that I am able to read and regurgitate words. I am not a car person per se, not a fanatic - there will be no phone calls asking me to join Top Gear. So lets get down to my real opinions on this car. I chose a Mondeo as I had one previously in 2002 when the "new versions" first ...  Read the complete review

**This review is on the Ford Mondeo Zetec 2.0 Saloon - 2001 model** Approaching Christmas last year, I suffered the nightmare scenario of my car key breaking in the ignition of my Mercedes C180. The end of the key was stuck inside and, in the locksmith's desperation to get my key out, he damaged the ignition altogether - which inevitably meant another costly trip to the Mercedes garage. No more! It was the straw that broke the camel's back with my falling apart Mercedes, and it was time to get a new car. Admittedly I am a fan of big saloon cars, so the market provided some superb brands such as Audi, Lexus and BMW. However these illustrious brands ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a 2003 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Graphite about 3 months ago due to having cover more mileage for work. What a joy to drive. I cannot fault it at all so far. It seems to pull forever. Masses of torque and great fuel economy. It's great to see some boy racers faces drop as they eat your dust when you pull away from them with minimum effort! It is solidly built which i have had proven twice in the last 2 months when i got rear ended first by a white van and then again by a new mini cooper. Just to give you an idea of how well built, the mini was a write off and my mondeo needed only a new rear bumber and the white van was pretty messed up and again only ...  Read the complete review

3 weeks ago, in July 2004 I drove a 3 month old Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDi from North Wales to Kent where I live, due to my Peugot 406 being written off in an accident at LLanrwst. At first, I was not really keen on the idea of driving a diesel..... That was until I got in and started it up. The car had loads of power, which matched, or was better than most petrol cars that I have driven which have been of a similar size and engine size. I climbed some very steep hills in this car, the boot was fully laiden with cargo and there were 3 bikes on the roof, but this did not effect the power that this car had. The car handled - No glided around bends ...  Read the complete review
