Ford Mondeo Hatchback 1.8i GLX 5d (93) (2000/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Lots of car for the money. Paid less than £3000 for a car with elec seats, windows and mirrors and a sunroof!
Costs
Very cheap. Best to try and get parts from breakers. There's loads of breakers willing to give a great deal!

On the road
Driving
1.8 16v can be harsh and noisy, but is OK. Gearbox is very notchy so not good for an in-experienced driver.
Performance
Engine is brisk and accelerates quite well, even when the car is heavily laden.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable although BEWARE! Many cars (including mine) have a fault with the tracking, which means they tend to pull to one side.
Image
Average family/rep car. Make sure you get one in a nice metallic colour.
Comfort
Lots of space. Rear seat has a slightly narrow bench that will agrivate tall people.

Alarm, central locking and deadlocks ensure peace of mind.
