1997 Ford Mondeo Si review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and FAST!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS/traction control sometimes doesn't work, but at least you get a warning light to tell you.
Airbag warning light flashes intermittently.
Wheel alignment needs checking more regularly than it should, causes excessive and uneven tyre wear.
General comments?
I bought this car because it looks good, handles well and can beat pretty much anything that most boy racers try and put up against it.
I didn't buy it for the insurance group (Grp 16 and I'm 24 - oops!) or fuel economy, which is non-existent unless you drive it like your gran.
