Good Ford drive, easy to drive and controls all at hand.

Living with it
Reliability
Top Notch. apart from when engine electric management wire housings were worn through, and only allowed tick over. The AA didn't spot it, i did the next day, taped up, repositioned and been fine since.
Image
It's a mondeo, you don't get noticed, it'll make a good getaway car.
Comfort
On long runs, everyone falls asleep, apart from the driver!! very comfortable over long time periods.

Security and Service
Security
Never been broken into, but alarm suddenly stopped working, and sets itself off every now and then to everyone's surprise.
Service
Very few dealing s with the local Ford dealer, but prompt and quick with parts when required.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
No problems at all, i use a decent quality oil and a oil additive for the age, still revs to red line with no complaints.
Other
Front headlights?? why the plastic filter that turns yellow and fails the mot. You can get the filters on their own, not pay £40 per lamp unit, drop the bumper off and go from underneath, total cost,1hr of your own labour, and £3 for the filters.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
