    My second Mondeo, so must be good. Lots of car for the money, very cheap to buy now, but likewise resale values are not good.

    Previous Mondeo was an Automatic. Manual is much more economical.

    Boring to the masses... I like 'em.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Standard Security consists of deadlocks, immobiliser and alarm. Seems good enough to me.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Took car in to examine problem with jerky engine braking. Paid £50 they told me nothing wrong and they road tested it for a 1/3 of a mile. Now seems to be better since independent garage replaced filters during service.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Intermittent problems with engine braking.

    Other
