Ford Mondeo Saloon (00-07) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 09 January 2007 Ford launched a class leader in 2000 with the second-generation Mondeo. Spacious and comfortable, the car was also enjoyable to drive. While the diesel engines were a big improvement over the ones in the old model, it wasn't until the introduction of the TDCi engines in November 2001 that they were truly competitive. First major change to the Mondeo came in the summer of 2003 with improved quality and a greater level of equipment available, while it underwent further revisions in 2005. The high-performance ST220 was joined by a quick diesel ST TDCi in 2004. Loses value quickly because of the volumes sold to fleets that arrive on the used market, but an accomplished performer. 4 out of 5 Other Ford reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 3 out of 5 Vauxhall Vectra Saloon (05-08) Good diesels, comfortable, decent sized boot Bland styling, drab cabin, poorly laid out controls, dull to drive, seems pointless compared to the hatchback Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Peugeot 407 Saloon (04-11) Distinctive styling, good rear passenger space, strong diesel engines No hatchback version, limited storage, slack gearchange, interior quality could be better Read full review 4 out of 5 Volkswagen Passat Saloon (05-10) Clean styling, upmarket image, good sized boot, classy interior, comfortable ride No hatchback version, not particularly exciting to drive, older TDI engines are noisy Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
