1996 Ford Mondeo Ghia X 4x4 review from UK and Ireland
"Solid reliable friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake discs warped, sticky calliper.
Temperature gauge faulty.
Passenger foot-well filled up with water.
Trip computer failed.
Driver's electric seat failed.
Track-rod ends failed.
General comments?
Handling is great, with the 60/40 torque split.
The 2.0 Zetec is fast above 4000 revs, but below that it's a bit sluggish. I wish they made a 2.5 V6 instead.
A few problems, but cheaply fixed being a Ford.
Around town it gets 28mpg, and on a run 35mpg. Not bad for a heavy car.
Comfortable and sure footed.
Came with cruise control, 4 electric windows, sunroof, seats, air con, PAS, and leather for less than £700; not bad! Oh and the heated windscreen.
