1996 Ford Mondeo LX review from UK and Ireland
"A nice looking car, but costly on repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has an intermittent fault. It will lose power and stall. When you turn it off and back on again it will clear itself. This has now got to the stage where it will die after a few minutes and won't even re fire for a while after now.
The passenger foot well fills up with water in heavy rain. (good for a portable fish tank)
The windows all fog up and won't clear. (you end up driving like Ace Ventura with your head out the window)
General comments?
Apart from that lot it's a good motor.
