1996 Ford Mondeo Ghia X review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic, buy one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS went a bit mental and only worked intermittently. Turned out to be faulty sensor.
Air-con needs a new condenser.
Drivers side elements on heated windscreen not working.
General comments?
I have only had this car a few months, but I am very impressed with pretty much every aspect of this car.
It is a very fast car (140, on a private road of course!!!).
I love this car! It's got every toy you could need (and some you don't), it's incredibly comfortable, roomy, reasonably economical if driven sedately, and it's just really easy to drive.
Torque steer can be a problem when driving enthusiastically, as can a touch of lift-off over-steer.
The car doesn't handle badly, but could do with less body roll. Am going to cure this with lower, stiffer springs.
I paid £1600 for this car with 116,000 miles on the clock. it was in near perfect condition and had been well looked after.
As a second-hand buy, I couldn't fault it.
