1994 Ford Mondeo LX Estate review from UK and Ireland
"I won't buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After driving for anything over 5 minutes I am getting some nasty static shocks if I touch any of the car bodywork.
Front shock absorbers started leaking.
Tracking for ever going out - and car is not "kerbed"
Blows headlight bulbs on average once a month!!
Seats not very supportive.
General comments?
Overall performance not bad for a 1600cc car, but noisy at 60mph plus.
Nothing special for road-holding, my previous car (Vectra) in spite of all the bad publicity was far superior.
Estate not that well designed at back, roof tends to dip (curve) quite a lot at tailgate and hence can make some things (like prams!) difficult to get in.
The plastic finish in the cabin looks rather cheap and nasty after average wear.
