1997 Ford Mondeo LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Not the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both front doors damaged by the Ford dealer.
Performance was pathetic.
Auto box clunky.
General comments?
Local Ford Ddaler damaged both front doors due to negligence.
Continual problems with no-go, dealer had the car 5 times, once for 3 days, got it back and it stopped dead at traffic lights for no reason straight afterwards. Things got heated after that!
Attitude of local Ford dealers are terrible and I'm not the only one to say that.
