Ford 2005 Mondeo Estate

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Second-hand, this car is a snip for value. Could do with fog lights as standard on this model. The estate has acres of room and will carry just about anything requested of it.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    36mpg and good value insurance help keep costs down. Servicing costs are, I believe, average.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Seats may be a bit hard for some, but are comfortable. Holds the road well and corners superbly.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Slowish to accelerate, but will cruise all day at motorway speeds and above.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    So far in my 8 months of ownership, the car has been faultless.

    Image

    2 out of 5 2.0

    It is because of the rep image people bypass this car. They are missing a bargain.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable overall. Plenty of legroom in rear of car, even with front seats set furthest back.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I'm told very good. But what is a top notch security system?
