1996 Ford Mondeo SLX review from UK and Ireland
"Best buy so far for this type of model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the Mondeo the back box of the exhaust was rotten. The car kept cutting out due to a broken tappet and had to be replaced, car was still under guarantee.
General comments?
Engine too small for such a large saloon, would be better with a 1.8 or a 2.0 engine to get better performance. It is still a fast car for the size of engine, can still get 110 mph at 4500 rpm, which is good for the year of the car.
Very comfortable, car but would be better with leather interior and with sportier seats. It has a lot of room in the cabin and good room in the boot.
It has great extras for the SLX model like electric windows/wing mirrors, central locking with deadbolts, sun roof, height adjustable steering wheel, and spotlights. Good package considering the year of the car and what was available at the time.
