Ford Mondeo Hatchback (2007 - 2014) 2.0 TDCi (140bhp) Zetec (10/10 on) 5d (2012/62) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Hopefully it says I have good taste when it comes to cars.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

I have a friend who bought a Audi A3 the same time I bought my mondeo and he now wishes he followed my example. Family love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I have had many cars over the years but the mondeo is by far the best I have owned.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another mondeo.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£15,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought from a dealer I had used before. Might have got a better/cheaper deal buying private but like the safety of buying from a dealer.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Had a mondeo before, changed to a qashqai. Missed the extra room and better performance.

What was the dealer like?

Good, offered a few sweeteners, cash back, 0% finance.

What's it like to drive?

Drives great, 2.0lt diesel has enough power for me. Smooth drive and very comfortable.

What's it like to park?

I have no problems parking but my old mondeo only had rear parking sensors and my wife was a little wary. This car has front and rear sensors and she is much happier parking this one.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Runs perfect, just like my last mondeo. If anything does go wrong ford parts are reasonable and easy to get hold of.

What's most practical about your car?

The space inside, it's massive. And the Diesel engine keeps running costs down.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Lots to choose from, but in the winter the quick-clear windscreen is amazing. Very fast to clear screen.
