1998 Ford Mondeo Ghia X review from UK and Ireland

Nothing with car, but was supplied new with 97 Ghia wheels, dealer refused to accept incorrect wheels fitted. Eventually got right ones but tyres had done 5000ish miles (independent opinion), also covered with brake dust and needed balancing out. Problem ongoing with fomoco. Absolutely disgusted with dealers pathetic service. I'm convinced someone at the dealer had taken a 'shine' to the chrome alloys and had swapped them over and hoped I wouldn't have noticed. DEFINITELY will not be taking my car there for servicing.

Fantastic performance from engine, interior is a driver's and passenger's delight. Handling and ride are exceptional. Vulnerable to stone chips on front. Slightly disappointed with quality of leather trim for a twenty grand car. Radio sound and ease of use is very good. All the controls are perfectly positioned and look good. Excellent visibility. Much much better than Vectra I test drove. Why do the door mirrors have to be so small? MPG reasonable. Noise supression excellent and engine virtually inaudible at tickover. I really like and enjoy driving this car and would recommend it to anyone.
