Ford Mondeo Estate 1993

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great value, I paid £5k for 40k miler with RSAP kit & FSH from a main dealer - lots of car for the money.

    Fairly thirsty but if you buy a 24v V6 expecting 50mpg you deserve everything you get.

  • On the road

    Driving

    Very smooth and powerful on the motorway as this is what they are built for!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Accelerates well for such a big car - could do with 25ish extra BHP for a bit more of a kick - maybe a superchip when the warranty runs out?

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No major problems yet - the exhaust clonks over some bumps but I think the rubber mounts need replacing.

    Very bland unless it has the RSAP kit which makes it look like an ST24 estate (rare as!)

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The leather armchairs are yet to make my back ache but I swear there is more rear legroom in the hatchback model.
