1996 Ford Mondeo Si review from UK and Ireland
"Reasonable performance for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front ABS sensor failed - replaced.
Persistent problems with the front wheel alignment.
Wear and tear: new exhaust, new tyres.
Boot light failed.
After I sold the car I found it required a new catalytic converter, and some work to the front suspension.
General comments?
Nicer looking than most Mondeos owing to all-over body-coloured trim and spoiler.
Sporty enhancements matched the performance of the car - good acceleration although not exactly refined! Very noisy at high speeds and the engine lacks torque. Light, insubstantial steering.
Sporty seats are uncomfortable on long journeys.
