2000 Ford Mondeo ST200 review from UK and Ireland
"Affordable performance and comfort rivaling more expensive alternatives"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump needed replacement (nothing wrong with it, but they need replacing with after-market pumps due to a fault in the Ford unit)
Boot opens by itself (but not when locked)
Front seat clicks (faulty weld)
Picks up stone chips easily.
General comments?
Fantastic car, easily the best I've owned.
Steering is crisp and sure.
Gear changes feel positive.
Performance is eye-opening when pushed, secondary inlets open up over 5K giving extra push.
Superbly comfortable ride in both front Recaros and rear (especially the leathers). Recently did a 1,500 mile trip with no discomfort at all.
Being a rare variant of the Mondeo, it's easily mistaken for a normal Mondeo and you don't get any head turning. But the people who know the difference will most certainly stop and look.
No hesitation in recommending this car.
