1994 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Si review from Norway
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler system leaking after 80000 km. Had to buy a replacement for the rear muffler.
The EU control reported worn rubber fittings in the front and rear suspension system. Must be fixed during the 90000 km service. Big cost: Euro 1000 (everything is expensive in Norway)
Remote control door-lock and alarm system freaked out. Disabled the system after about 80000 km.
General comments?
I nice care to drive (if you drive fast).
The Si model have a suspension system which is sporty, but could lead to noise from the wheels using "hard" tires.
Good (Ricardo?) sport seats in the Si model.
Could be used with larger wheels ("15" > for a better look.
