1999 Ford Mondeo LX review from South Africa
"A sporty family car with luxury comforts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major - they had to replace an air bag trigger.
General comments?
Lovely car to drive. Seats are really comfortable, even on long trips.
Road noise is high though with Firestone tyres.
Very user friendly radio/tape plus good air conditioner and effective ventilation.
Bags of room for the rear passengers and the boot is great - plenty of room for 4 or 5 suitcases.
