1993 Ford Mondeo GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Good all round family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car the dealer had to reluctantly replace a rattly catalyst and the temperature gauge was not working.
After that, all I have had to replace was a broken speedo cable and 4 tyres.
General comments?
A very solid car, a strong willing engine that seems almost bulletproof but needs to be stirred a little to get the maximum out of it.
Handle's the road pretty well.
Ample leg room in the front and back, only complaint about the cabin is, the passenger seat adjustment lever is set too high, it gets quite uncomfortable under your right leg.
A few rattles are now appearing from the rear parcel shelf area and from the rev counter. I have also got an annoying rattle from the clutch/gearbox area when the car is labouring, my suspicions are the clutch release bearing, if anyone can comment on this please do.
This is the most reliable car I have ever bought, starts first time every time no matter what the weather, I just hope it pleases me at the MOT next month!
