Good Points

A 2004 model with 65,000 on the clock which is no distance at all for this deisel engine. Excellent torque. Pulls like a good 'un. Luxurious drive with plenty of toys. Courtesy lights underneath the wing mirrors. Smooth ride. Effortless motorway cruiser. The list is by no means exhaustive and I could go on. More poke than I have been used to in a car. Best all round car I have owned.


Bad Points

Radiator grille appears to look like a sieve for salads. Urban and rush hour, I only go as high as third gear. Computer seems to overestimate mileage remaining by 100 miles per tankful. The brakes are a tad spongy, but then I always find ABS a bit spooky so mebe it's just me.


General Comments

I have owned generations of Fords, mainly Granadas Marks 1, 2 and 3. This far exceeds my expectations, and with the reliabiility and guts of the turbo deisel engine, I intend to keep this beauty for a long time.

Recently I used the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 130 Ghia X 4dr to move most of my aunt's possessions to a new address with a minimum amount of fuss. A wheelchair fits neatly into the boot without dropping the seats.

I don't think I can better this immacculate car at £4,600.

You should try, as I did, to get an ex-fleet car, mine had one previous owner, HSBC, who had everything and any little thing done by Ford with Ford parts. Full service history.

Don't think twice, go for it!
