Ford Mondeo Hatchback (1993 - 2000) 2.0 Zetec 5d (2000/X) Owner Review

Given age and price probably not much! But I'm not bothered, I like driving it!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Impressed for the price paid.

Wanted something cheap and after loan of an Audi A3 for a week something with a bit of power.
