2012 Ford Mondeo Titanium 2.0 petrol
Summary:
Lovely!
Faults:
Serviced regularly and all maintenance carried out correctly during my two year ownership. Looking through the history of this well looked after car, the previous owner spent a tonne of cash on consumables and wear and tear parts (clutch being most expensive), but looks to have had no major problems.
The air con doesn't work but I don't care. It's usually cold here in the north of the UK ;)
General Comments:
Quick, reliable, comfortable, good looking, I love this Mondeo.
Titanium top spec model has all the extras. Very nice interior. Great seats, smooth drive.
Exterior stunning in "Midnight Sky" which is a sort of dark blue/grey metallic. Original Ford wheels look great.
2.0 petrol not that economical with only 30 - 35 mpg with mixed driving. Tax is also too damn expensive at around £300 per year! But it is quiet and refined, performance is good, and is easily more reliable than the diesel engines.
Bloody love it to be honest, it is just the perfect car for me, a little expensive to run but returns with reliability and spacious comfortable smooth cruising, that is nice to drive and ride in this car. Even at this age and mileage used values are holding firm.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Eco-boost isn't actually a great engine, they are known for turbo failure. Still, this is better than the standard non turbo 1.6 petrol, which is slow and not great on fuel.
