2005 Ford Mondeo LX STEEL review from UK and Ireland
"Its so good I'm not sure why anyone buys anything else!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very early days, but absolutely nothing, feels like its been built from sold granite!
General comments?
Fantastic car. I do 1100 km/week and she just eats them up. I'm now getting just over 52mpg which I think is truly amazing for such a big car.
I do a lot of motorway driving, but 30% of my driving is also on back roads, but wherever it is that I drive this car it just thrives. Extremely comfy, with good levels of equipment, but i'd rather have a trip computer than an electric seat on the LX STEEL version I own!
