Ford Mondeo Estate 2.5 V6 Ghia X 5d Auto (96) (1999/T) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Lot of bits for the money. Omega's are better value, but Mondeo more reliable.
Costs
30mpg. Otherwise parts are quite cheap.

On the road
Driving
Not the sharpest, set up for comfort, but doesn't misbehave.
Performance
Good enough. Not as blistering as Manual version but enough to shame a Vectra SRi uphill.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never missed a beat. Many lights flash on the dash but they never mean anything of substance.
Image
Looks like you're trying to sell widgets just ferrying the kids around.
Comfort
Very nice seats and stereo. Refinement is good.

Security and Service
Security
Usual Ford security for this age (Key dongle, anti burst locks).
Service
Serviced myself, so cannot fault what I haven't used.
