"Well impressed!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

No faults.

General comments?

Well pleased so far. Smooth engine with good performance and >30 mpg economy.

Handling, steering and brakes in a different league to my previous Vectra (2.0 LS) Actually feels like the steering wheel is connected to the front wheels unlike the Vectra.

Good build quality - no squeaks or rattles. Interior is very Audi like with its chrome rimmed dials and good quality soft feel plastics. A nice place to be for 400 mile stints at the wheel.

Attentive and reasonably priced dealer. Work is carried out on time and to a good standard.

Every bit as good as the hype. Why pay more for a family hatchback?

My partner and I also own a 2003 Mondeo Zetec, and are so far very impressed with the car. The drive and handling are in a different league from other family vehicles and most other cars. The Mondeo is a sharp looker too, ours is finished in Metallic Silver, and features automatic transmission which boasts slick and seamless gear changes, even under harsh acceleration.

So far, Very Impressed!

My girlfriend has one of these as a company car and I am glad it is a company car as when she leaves the company she gives it back! There is no low down power at all it's a auto and off the lights a diesel will just leave it behind in fact I think a snail will leave it for dead. One thing I will say is the safety feeling in the car is in its favour and the handling and fuel economy are great. I don't know why a tow bar is on it cause I doubt you could tow much with it. Up hill it's real sluggish and always cutting back to second, It's done 45000 miles and the fuel pump has been replaced, the disk on the brakes has been replaced and the brake light switch has been replaced as well! Not a car I would own.
