1995 Ford Mondeo GLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good mid size car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plugs and leads perish quickly.
Squeaky suspension and joints.
Misfires when thicker oil is used.
High fuel consumption when cold.
Highway fuel consumption higher.
Tends to overheat in heavy traffic and in summer (sensor issue?).
Shaky and unstable at higher speeds.
General comments?
Good performance with high performance oils.
Good driving comfort.
Easy and flexible power steering.
Accelerates easily when thinner oil is used- 5W-30/10W-30
Engine does not hesitate when gears are changed from 3rd to 5th.
