On the road

For its size weight and shape it drives very very well.

No problems.

Who cares...it's a kid-carrying wardrobe.
Comfort
Heating/cooling is more complicated than need be on manual and lacks response on auto.

Security and Service
Security
1 break-in in a hotel car-park by tin-opener on the door-lock. So not great and avoid posh hotels in Stratford.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Noisier than the alternatives and some whistle from the turbo but its willing and pulls well at any speed.
Other
If you are sensitive to noise look elsewhere. If you want a better image get a Volvo or Subaru depending on your taste. The Mondeo does what it says on the tin.
Ownership

New
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes

Yes
