1998 Ford Mondeo ST24 review from UK and Ireland
"A fast, reasonable priced car. Well equipped, slighty greedy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I would probably still have it today if I had not been involved in a crash where the car written off. But it did have a gearbox design problem.
General comments?
The Mondeo ST24 in practical terms was basically in the same type bracket as my previous car, the Vauxhall Vectra, that is they are both 2.5 V6 engines but I felt there was always a problem with the Vectra's gearbox. Later on I was to find out from Vauxhall Luton that they were actually fitted with a SAAB gear box that is only in the 2.5 V6 models. The Mondeo is definitely the better of the two cars, but I must say I enjoyed them both.
