2004 Ford Mondeo zetec s review from UK and Ireland

Only problems I've had are a droning noise.

From the engine caused I think by the.

Turbo inter cooler pipe rubbing on the.

Chassis apparently a fairly common fault.

So apart from that tyres and a new screen.

Nothing else.

I've had the car for just a year and do about 1000miles a week when you get the car on the twisty stuff it certainly handles well.

The standard performance was OK, but mine has had a dragon performance module on it for the last 40000 miles and now gives about 160 bhp with masses more mid range torque probably too much as it scrabbles for grip if you floor it in 5th at about 2500rpm

the economy with hard driving is 47mpg average.

The tyres do wear out fairly quickly particularly the conti sports I firstly replaced these with pirelli p zero rossos these give far superior grip, but a rather hard ride recently due to a bulge appearing in these and they were down to about 2mm I replaced them, due to availability with yoko 306 tyres these don't grip anywhere near as well, but they are very comfortable giving a smoother ride and seem to be lasting well.

All in all a good car I've replaced the std stereo with a blaupunkt dab radio

and pioneer sub in the boot and replaced the front door speakers with pioneer 3 ways (std fit) overall finish of the car still good after 60k miles.
