I own one of the ST24 Ford Mondeo models.
Have owned the car for 6 months now. Nice car to drive, comfy, fairly nippy however many of my friends hot hatch roller skates are faster!
Bought the car from a friend thinking I got a good deal. Now I am trying to sell it for the same money and not had much interest!
If you've ever driven a real sports car (Porshe, MR2, Lotus) there is no comparison with the Mondeo. The Mondeo lacks the fun feel factor. I owned a Saxo a couple of years ago. How I loved taking it down country lanes.

ST24 in NOT the same as the ST200. As for chav car you are joking the ST200 has not been taken to halfords for a few meaningless spoilers. Maybe you should stick to the little saxo's etc.

The ST200 is a very rewarding car to own and drive. The ST200 is a reliable and easy car to own. Fuel consumption is not too bad, and it faired well as far as Mr Clarkson is concerned when tested on Top Gear. There are limited mods you can do to the car, but the best one so far is to put an ST220 engine in, and this can increase the power up to 270bhp.
<br/>
<br/>I would recommend this car as a sporty and affordable family saloon/hatch.

The Ford Mondeo ST200 looks very outdated and it isn't a great car. How can it be? It's a Ford?
<br/>
<br/>I wouldn't own another ST24 or ST200 if one was given to me.
<br>
<br/>They may have been good once, but that day has long gone!

A fair review, each to his own etc. I drive an MR2 (aw11), which in fairness makes a better noise, but my friend has an ST24 and it so much more refined. He has scared the nuts off me a couple of times topping 130 mph. It may not have the looks or appeal of a true sports car, but it certainly is a true drivers car and should not be overlooked easily.

Ummmm Celica maybe not, somehow this is not exactly a sports car. Yes i have driven many sports cars and the 200 driven properly, will reward a driver, obviously you were not able to enjoy what the car could do.

Unfortunately when I past my test the only thing i could afford to get insured on was a saxo! that was a great little car for 2 years and never once broke down! as soon as i get a FORD, I had problems! And unlike many other saxo drivers, my saxo was completely standard. Perhaps you haven't driven proper sports cars, I recommend it, not just a sporty family car! I have driven a ST200 and there's not much differnce to the ST24, just has a lil bit more power. which isn't very noticeable! I now have a 52 plate Celica. Much better :-)
