1997 Ford Mondeo ST24 RSA 5dr review from UK and Ireland
"Effortless high speed mile cruncher"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric sunroof motor seized.
Anti-roll bar bushes replaced 3 times.
General comments?
An effortless high speed cruiser rather than a point to point racer, but it still looks great and the build quality is so much better than the Mk1. Only real drawback for me is that I would have to punch a hole in rear valance to fit a towbar which I normally fit to my cars.
Depreciation is sore on the wallet as it's tagged with the Dagenham dustbin label even though it's the pick of the range (even Jeremy Clarkson sings its praises).
