2002 Ford Mondeo Zetec S from UK and Ireland - Comments

The only thing wrong with the car is that the driver seat squeaks.

The Zetec S is very sporty in appearance.

The 18" wheels and body kit make the car one of the best lookers around.

This car is very quick and yet economical to run.

I haven't been getting quite as many miles per gallon as Ford claim, but an average of 43 is still excellent.

This is the best car I have ever driven.

This car could be improved with the addition of cruise control and a sixth gear, both of which are now standard on new models.

I have just acquired a 2.5 V6 Zetec-s, and totally agree that this is a great looking/handling car. The 18 inch alloys look fantastic, coupled with the bodykit you can hardly tell the difference between this and a ST220!!The interior finish is second to none and of a far better quality than its so called German/Japanese rivals, it's a very nice place to be in!As for the performance the V6 pulls like a steam train after 4500rpm, its hard to believe a big car like this can be so fast, that said the fuel economy is quite bad, but what do you expect driving a car that is capable of doing over twice the national speed limit!!!This car is one of Ford's best kept secrets, drive one and see for yourself!

I bought a second hand 03 plate Zetec S TDCi with full body kit & stud alloys. It is a great car. A marvellous motorway cruiser and so quick off the mark I would defy anyone to say it was diesel. Bags of room and an incredibly sporty look make this one of the best cars I have owned.

Why do Vectra and BMW male drivers always want to race me? We own a Mondeo 2.5 v6 zetec s (BEAST) and me being a lady driver I seem to attract all the showoffs, but the thing is they NEVER beat me and my MONDY. I don't even know why they try. I think they see the V6 on the side, maybe they feel threatened by a woman driver. This car drives like a dream. handles like a dream, looks like a beast. what more can I say. With its 18inch alloys sports kit it looks amazing. And it's a petrol Zetec S, that's why it's a V6.Diesels are not V6s.

For the first time I drove a Zetec S diesel and I was more impressed than with my Legacy Turbo. This is true.

You say "And it's a petrol Zetec S, that's why it's a V6.Diesels are not V6s."

You sure know your engines!

You can have diesel V6's, Audi and Land Rover have them, but yeah Ford don't that I know of.
