  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Well treated examples keep their value a little higher than most...

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Dirt cheap on petrol, but parts can cost quite a bit. Don't smash it!

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Go-kart like handling and quick gear change make for easy(ish) acceleration. Make sure you don't throw it into a corner though, you'll know about it...

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Probably the quickest 1.0 there is. Put your foot down to the floor and leave Mondeos standing.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Suppose it hasn't broken down...yet.

    This rating would be higher if I had a Super S body kit. It's a bit girlie really.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not bad for a trip down the shops, but anything beyond that and you'll need aromatherapy. Harsh ride and very uncomfortable seats. Also I'm sure I've got taller since I first started driving it.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    This was a plain zero till I fitted my own alarm and immobiliser. Central locking you say? What's central locking?

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    None - brought from private trader.
