2005 Ford Mondeo Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"A highly recommendable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As yet, no faults.
General comments?
When I first saw the estate car I didn't think the handling would be particularly good, but I was proven very wrong. Taking into account the size of the car, I have to say it handles wonderfully and coupled with the 155 BHP diesel engine proves a real joy to drive (and impressively fast).
This model has the six speed gearbox which makes this car one of the quietest diesels I've ever driven on a motorway.
This particular model is well equipped with electric windows all round, electrically adjustable and folding wing mirrors, automatic headlights, automatic windscreen wipers auto-dipping rear view mirror, cruise control, climate control etc etc..
The trip computer tells me that I average between 48 - 56 MPG, a point worth mentioning I think.
