Ford Mondeo Hatchback (2007 - 2014) 2.5T Titanium X Sport 5d (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

From the outside it looks like an average diesel Ford Mondeo so I don't think it says much about me.

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

They all seem to like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - but I am not going to. I have not had an ounce of trouble with it and it ticks all the boxes for me. I genuinely cannot fault it other than returning slightly poor MPG.

What are you likely to buy next?

Volvo S80 2.5 Turbo Geartronic.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

I didn't get a lot off the asking price but I was happy to pay what I paid for the car because I knew it was a good car and I got what I paid for. However, I did get 12 months warranty and another 6 months added on for free.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I choose this car over a 2.0 TFSI Volkswagen Passat because it had a lot more equipment as standard and it drove a lot nicer than the Passat.

What was the dealer like?

The dealership was a nice place overall. The salesman introduced himself and allowed me to look over the car by myself while he patiently waited for me to finish. The car was clean inside and out when I went to view it and it was parked in an ideal place with enough space for me to look around the car without any distractions. The salesman had no problems with me taking the car to an independent Ford specialist to have the car thoroughly looked over. When I was happy with the car and decided to purchase finalising the deal could not have went easier. Everything went smoothly and the car came with a full tank of fuel when I picked it up the next day.

What's it like to drive?

It is a very nice car to drive overall. Very quick. Brilliant for motorway cruising.

What's it like to park?

I have no problems parking it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No problems to date.

What's most practical about your car?

I think every Ford owner will agree the heated front windscreen is brilliant during bad weather and the boot space is huge.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Automatic lights and wipers, voice controlled bluetooth and of course, the heated windscreen.
