1999 Ford Mondeo LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"An expensive runner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake Pads worn
Tyre balancing does not appear to be hold well
Minor external panel nicks show up poorly in Green color
Internal panel damage, plastics not hard enough
Hubcaps loss fittings (why the tie tags?)
General comments?
This car is expensive to run and maintain.
The car is heavy on the road.
Other than that it's everything you would want either for a family wagon or sales or distribution vehicle.
Proprietary stereo system makes stereo enhancements after original purchase an expensive option.
No automatic windows in the rare passenger doors is frustrating.
