2002 Ford Mondeo Ghia TDCi review from UK and Ireland
"Will I drive a petrol again? Probably not!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Washer bottle dipstick has snapped off from the twist cap.
Springs in the drivers seat have started creak.
General comments?
The diesel engine in the car is amazing. It picks up like a petrol and the amount of torque is unbelievable - pulling like a train. Overtaking is a breeze.
Handling and road holding is superb too giving the driver great confidence. The car really does feels its on rails.
The Climate Control seems to ebb and flow. When you want it cold, it's hot and vice versa, but I can live with it by manually adjusting the temperature dials.
MPG on average is 40 to 45, although a motorway run at a steady 70mph will return well into the 50's.
As with most diesels, the Mondeo is noisy on first start up, but when the engine has warmed up, the noise level drops.
