Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
£6.5k off retail at 5 months old seemed like a bargain, unfortunately it keeps on depreciating at the same alarming rate!
Costs
Averages 47mpg, service costs appear reasonable, depreciation frightening!
-
On the road
Driving
Firmish ride, but not uncomfortable.
Performance
Narrow power band (2000-3000rpm) means lots of gear changes though once used to it can be hussled along quite quickly.

Living with it
Reliability
Never broke down, but new squeek, rattle, whine every time i go out in it.
Image
Looks ok, but seems like every second Mondeo you see is a taxi.
Comfort
Plenty leg room, head room ok (i'm 6'3""). Seats firm but comfortable, controls nicely laid out.
