2002 Ford Mondeo Zetec TDCi review from UK and Ireland
"Fast fun and frugal: why buy petrol?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear wiper was not working when I got the car - sorted under warranty.
Centre rear seatbelt has locked.
General comments?
The new Mondeo was not a car I set out to buy, but the test drive convinced me.
The TDCi is impressive, mighty performance it feels faster than its 130bhp would suggest. Add 50 mpg which makes it ideal for motorway cruising.
The handling is amazing for such a large car and the ride is fine, a bit firm in town though.
The alloys on the Zetec make it look a treat and the neptune green suits it well.
My only gripes are that the clutch can be snatchy and it's a bit noisy when cold.
