Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing - it can't talk.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's cheaper than theirs - since I pay for it!

No, this Mondeo, and Ford's service(!) put me right off Fords and Mondeos.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent

No

£10,000

March 2010
Did you get a good deal and why?
Average deal at best.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Often had Mondeos, needed a big Estate.
What was the dealer like?
Pushy, uninformed, too keen for the sale in my opinion - just happened he had the best value I'd seen.
-
Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A dog. Mostly due to steering issues that have persisted since I got it. Fuel economy also lower than expected at low 40s.
What's it like to park?
Erm..... same as any other car.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yup. Power steering pump the day after a major service - conveniently not Ford's fault, didn't want to know - fortunately I had warranty. Steering has been hideous since day one though.
What's most practical about your car?
Space - it's big, and capable like Mondeo Estates always have been.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It has the factory fit DVD Nav with Traffic. Other than that, not much.
