1995 Ford Mondeo LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A small European car without high insurance costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor things...
Rough gear change when cold (feels like someone runing into the back of you).
Dash board backlight.
Hubcaps (missiles).
Strange noises.
Major things:
Engine management system shuts down the engine when it gets very cold, which is not nice when you are doing about 130km/h and you loose power steering and brakes (takes a long time to stop).
----Can't find the problem!----
General comments?
Overall not a bad car if you live in a town that only has horse drawn carts because it has NO overtaking power.
Good handling making the car a lot of fun.
Small steering wheel giving it a sporty feel to the driver.
A very fast car on the freeway.
