No

March 2014

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Liked this mark Mondeo and a Ghia X at £2,400 was too good a buy to miss!
What was the dealer like?
Fine, happy to fix a couple of faults I spotted on the car when collecting it.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely smooth drive, irons out town centre pot holes and eats up motorway miles. Steering is light enough when trying to park in a tight space, rear view could be better, and nicely weighted at higher speeds. Would have expected slightly more grunt from a 2.0L engine though.
What's it like to park?
Rear visibility could be better.

Seats 5 people with ease and comfort.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated front windscreen - how did I ever get by without one!?
