1997 Ford Mondeo LX review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, comfortable and value for money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric seat packed up - blew fuse!
Indicator blew.
Washers sprayed all over floor as pipe came off!
Easily scratched.
General comments?
Fuel consumption is very high around town. However, fuel consumption on the motorway is excellent. Money lost due to town driving is easily gained with long runs.
Very comfortable to drive.
Driving position superb. Electric seat helps.
Crash protection excellent - my last one was written off! Airbags, seat belt pre-tensioner etc.
Reliability is excellent - so far!
Doesn't grumble at high speed - before you realise the clock is reading 100mph! Rather scary!
Excellent acceleration.
Shows up the Nova boys!
Easily modified!
Quiet engine.
Gearbox can be rather notchy at times.
Looks rather stylish, but can be let down by easy scratching.
Air conditioning helps on hot days. A must!
