The steering pulls to the right when braking.
This car 'Clunks' and groans when full-lock is applied to the steering.
Acceleration is sluggish and jerky.
Alarm goes off for no apparent reason.
Too much plastic!
If you like the sound of creaking and rattling then this car is for you.
This car handles like an overweight rhinoceros with an aversion to speed!
However, there is plenty of legroom and acres of space in the boot.
Obviously does not no the real mondeo! must have bought a cat d write off by the sounds of it. My p reg 1.8 zetec is lively and a very reliable solid car.
You can't say anything bad about it if your previous car was a nova!
If you force the steering against full lock you put a heck of a load on the power steering pump (the groaning noise) and the steering bushes (the clunking).
This is why the instruction book tells you not to do it!
