1997 Ford Mondeo ST24 review from UK and Ireland
"Great value V6 monster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car sometimes stalls when cold, but then restarts fine, it's going back next week.
The CD Auto changer is playing up.
New exhaust needed £277 for the back and mid section.
New tyres, Avon ZZ1 205/50/ZR16, £85 each.
General comments?
I'm averaging 15 mpg, probably due to my driving style, I got 25 mpg on a long run.
I find the car slides across the road if a bend is taken too fast, almost as if the suspension is too hard.
Easily keeps up with BMW 325's and 535's as I tend to go BMW thrashing.
When the traction control kicks in the accelerator pedal pushes your foot back, this was a bit of a shock when it first happened.
