Ford Mondeo Hatchback (2007 - 2014) 1.8 TDCi Ghia 5d (6) (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Family man car / rep

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

At the start it got allot of attention, but when the RAC kept towing me home, they soon thought otherwise

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would not have it as a company car again. The emmissions are not a patch on the BMW or VW engines, fords are lagging behind allot in this area. Also after a period of time it does start to rattle like an old ford

What are you likely to buy next?

I have ordered the new VW Passat. good on the tax, and excellent to drive

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

No. As it was bought as a company car so no added extras

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

This car was on my company car list and I loved the new shape and size

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

This particlur engine is rubbish. very slow off the mark and needs allot to get it going. Long jorneys were comfortable but driving around towns were a nighmare. allot of blind spots on the car.

What's it like to park?

Terrible. it just about fits in a standard supermarket bay. Parking sensors should be standard on this car

Have you had any problems with the car?

The car started off well but the air con is rubbish and had a new condesor put on and needs refilling every year. Also I have had the injectors changed at 100k and at 80k the clutch and flywheel needed changing. I have driven lots of cars over 100k and never had a clutch change. Also had allot of niggly electrical faults which had to be sorted at the dealership

What's most practical about your car?

It was big, ideal for the familiy and good on the motoway

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

heated windscreen.
