1997 Ford Mondeo LX review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable expensive waste"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coil Pack went wrong on 20000 miles.
Suspension arm snapped at motorway speeds. Lethal.
Fuel filters block.
Won't start if temperature exceeds 23 degrees.
Dash board lights keep blowing.
Gearbox rebuild.
3 Clutches since ownership. Do not drive with foot resting on pedal as ford dealers suggest.
General comments?
I would think a plastic pig three wheeler is more reliable than this excuse for a vehicle.
Mr Clarkson please don't slag off Vectras.
Look as these heaps.
I think back to the old Ford advert.
FORD GIVES YOU MORE. Yeah trouble...
