Ford Mondeo Saloon (2000 - 2007) 3.0 V6 ST220 4d (6) (2005/05) Owner Review

Performance Blue is best colour and so it says I like German quality without the price. Not many of the ST220 about and less common than a BMW 3 series.

£11,000

January 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Car people from Wakefield, got £100 off so not much haggling but with options it had it was worth over £12k. Superb dealer though.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Practical family but with performance and looks.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent, The ST 220 model can have a problem with the rear bumper drooping because at the factory they fail to fit some foam supports, mine had this which I noticed after 10 months and so took it back and they fitted for free. I had to buy them separately but overall pleased with service.

What's it like to drive?

Superb handling and blistering performance, not to harsh a ride either, very comfortable on long journeys, performance is awesome.

What's it like to park?

Need a big space if parallel parking and rear parking sensors a must.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing major, had to replace reversing switch as parking sensors stopped working after 4 yrs but otherwise superb realiability.

What's most practical about your car?

Large boot. Plenty of space for 4 adults.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Xenon headlights are amazing, rear parking sensors a must and 8 way electric adjust sports seats are awesome.
