Ford Mondeo Saloon 1.8i GLX 4d (93) (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
£500, sub-1000 miles, just flew through MOT. Couldn't get much better.
Costs
Heavy on fuel around town and first thing in the morning and batteries are not cheap.

On the road
Driving
Lovely to drive, it inspires confidence ride getting a bit sloppy now though.
Performance
Quick when warm, terrible when stone cold. Could do with better 1/2 gear ratios.

Living with it
Reliability
92,000 miles last owner put in some really cheap oil, but it did no harm - it just keeps going and going. Watch out for over-sensitive fuel cut out switch wich is immpossible to find.
Image
I think it looks nice, but it still has the rep/Mondeo Man image problem.
Comfort
What more could you ask for? Electric seats and it's like driving in you comfiest armchair.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm works, but it sounds pants and it doesn't scare the local cats so it's not going to trouble a thief.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
None, just no room to work. Too many loose silly wires everywhere and that annoying low fuel cut-off hidden behind the block (Ford's idea of a joke).
Other
Hidden fuse box. I still haven't found it.
