Ford Mondeo Hatchback 2.0 Zetec 5d (00) (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I purchased this car from a dealer when it was 6 months old, I therefore avoided the massive depreciation you get when buying brand new.
Costs
I've so far managed better than 35mpg - a significant improvement on my old Mondeo, it's cheaper to tax too and insure too!!

Driving
Excellent. I thought my previous Mondeo (mk2 2.0 litre Ghia) was nice to drive, this one is a great improvement.
Performance
Brilliant! Corners like it's been nailed to the road, superb brakes, enthusiastic engine, slick gearbox.

Reliability
Nothing to report yet.

Does it matter!
Comfort
No complaints from the driver, passengers in the rear report a harsh ride and firm seats.

Don't know I haven't tried to nick it.
Service
Abysmal. So far it has taken six weeks and five seperate visits aswell as numerous telephone calls to the dealer to try and resolve my warranty claim for my car doors, I'm still waiting. I have always had Fords and this is the first time I have been let down.
