1995 Ford Mondeo GLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good mid size car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plugs and leads perish quickly.
Squeaky suspension and joints.
Misfiring when thicker oil is used.
Very high fuel consumption when cold.
Poor highway fuel consumption.
Tends to overheat in heavy traffic and in summer.
Shaky and unstable at higher speeds.
General comments?
Good performance when high performance oils are used.
Good driving comfort.
Love the power steering.
Revs easily when thinner oil is used- 10W-30.
Engine runs smoothly when gears changed from 2nd to 5th with no problem.
