2004 Ford Mondeo Trend review from Mexico
"Best deal I have done since I sold my Astra"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car so far. I have been driving it for about three months with no problems.
General comments?
The car has a five automatic transmission that behaves very smoothly while you are driving in the city. However, you can turn the shift knob to manual when you want more control and more power, the auto-stick option is great. If you push the car to the limit you will have to be careful because it pushes until you stop.
Although I would revise the timing between speeds (make them shorter), I like this transmission so far.
I also like all the safety features the car has with it. The tool box is quite complete as well.
