Ford Mondeo Saloon 3.0 V6 ST220 4d (6) (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value and equipment list, but depreciates very heavily to the point that you would have been better off (in terms of whole-life costs) buying a B.M.W in the first place.
Costs
Averaged 28MPG over 20k miles - Not bad for a 3.0 V6.
-
On the road
Driving
Very good, outstanding handling.
Performance
V6 sounds good. Strong performance. Not as quick as you might think though, it's a heavy car
-
Living with it
Reliability
Excellent, which is just as well as it would mean going to a Ford dealer to fix it.
Image
It's not a B.M.W, Merc or Audi and the trim is cheap. Still gets a lot of admiring looks though and has had three attempted break ins so someone must like the look of it.
Comfort
Recaros (heated) are excellent although I think you sit too high
-
Security and Service
Security
Attempted break in 3 times (never got in) - Make sure you double lock it - Press the lock key twice
Service
Dealer service is shocking - They should be closed down.
