1998 Ford Mondeo Ghia X review from UK and Ireland
"Luxury cruiser with more toys than a child's bedroom"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The lit drivers sun visor broke, costing nearly 100 pounds for a new one.
Other than that, only wear and tear items.
When sold, it appeared that the drivers heated seat was beginning to fail and the gear linkage adjuster was broken.
General comments?
A very comfortable car with multi adjustable electric drivers seat and leather all round.
This car is just right for fans of gadgets: play with the multi-function computer, heated seats and electric everything for hours on end..
Performance was good enough, especially considering this model was the large estate version. Needless to say, being an estate the loadspace was vast.
Economy was reasonably good, returning 31mpg in mixed driving with a gentle right foot - most of the time!
The dealer was rubbish though, even managing to severe the brake wear indicator cable when changing the brake pads.
