The only repair necessary during the time I have owned this car is the replacement of the anti-roll bar bushes, this was carried out, at little expense, just prior to the cars last M.O.T.
The car has been very reliable indeed and has cruised through each M.O.T. with flying colours.
The car always receives complimentary remarks from the M.O.T. testers.
This car has a very sound performance. Acceleration is solid right up to the red line, the V6 engine is very eager to rev.
Handling on bumpy back roads is a little nervous, but is very predictable and sharp on fast sweeping "A" roads.
The half leather front seats are very good, firm and supportive. They remain comfortable even on extended motorway trips.
Am I becoming "Ivor Mondeo"?. Four of them in 6 years! For the last 12 months I have owned an St24. It was love at 1st site. Panther black 5 door that appears to have been spoiled since birth, with out gaining any weight!
However, with regard to the front seats, as adjustable as they are, I cannot, "for love, nor money" get comfortable whilst driving long distances.
I find the combination of a lengthy Ford Clutch, a high accelerator pedal and seats that only feel sporty at their lowest setting, and "Galaxy" on their highest, unbearable on long journeys. With only my right arse cheek touching the seat and toes on the acclelerator, my leg very soon starts to cramp!
It's a shame this one problem so very often takes the smile from my face.
