2009 Ford Mondeo Edge 2.0 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Still a good car for the year
Faults:
Exhaust, brakes, usual wear and tear.
Electric windows a bit hesitant to move.
Oil leak.
Clutch bite a bit high now.
General Comments:
I bought this Mondeo as I had always liked these cars. Looks good with aftermarket alloy wheels in bright silver.
Edge model is kinda basic, but the car has typical electric features for a 2009 car which are still good enough for me. Very comfortable seats. Interior is big and spacious.
Handles very nicely. 2.0 petrol engine performance is great, but won't do much more than 34 mpg which is rubbish in 2023. But the car is quiet and refined, simple to maintain, and is otherwise cheap to run. More reliable than later "ecoboost" units.
Although pretty basic and getting dated now, a petrol Mondeo of this generation is well worth considering if you can get one cheap enough. It's in great condition and I plan to keep it another few years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

They are good cars, I'd hang on it to it till the end, no point spending thousands on a newer diesel car just to try and save a bit on better MPG.
