Ford Mondeo Saloon 1.8i LX 4d (93) (1993/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Since buying my Mondeo 5 years ago, I can hand on heart claim that I have had no major mechanical problems whatsoever.
Costs
Fuel consumption is above average for a car of its class, and replacement filters and other consumables are the lowest in the family car market.

On the road
Driving
Strikingly fun to drive and very responsive when pushed. Cornering can be a little scary at speed, but then again who wants to complete the Lombard RAC rally in a Mondeo?
Performance
Respectable 0 – 60, although you can see the fuel gauge move as quickly as the rev counter when the peddle is to the metal.

Living with it
Reliability
Fantastic reliability, having passed the dreaded 100,000 mile market, it just keeps on going and is as refined a the day I drove it off the forecourt.
Image
Dull dull dull dull are just a few words to describe is curvy appearance. Although, looking at cars of a similar age it’s a beauty. White is a nice colour and still looks fresh.
Comfort
Having done 100,000 miles in my Mondeo, I have no complaints about comfort. In fact I would go as for as to call it an armchair on wheels. Once on a motorway, just sit back and relax in the quiet cabin.

Security and Service
Security
With deadlocks and an insurance approved alarm as standard you cannot go wrong.
Service
Ford have never had a great track record, but I have no complaints.
