Good Points: Reliable, Fast, practical.
Bad Points: Uses way to much fuel!
General comments: I got my 97 Mondeo 2.0 Ghia after the gearbox went on my vectra 1.8ls and i'm quite dissapointed. I've had it for about 3 months now and all I seem to be doing is filling up all the time. I've had it in the garage a few times fixing the exhuast, changing the oil filter and replacing the oil. I think i've just about had enough of it and i'm really to sell it on and get another Vectra. Mondeos use way to much fuel for my liking.

I decided that my first car should be reliable, cheap to fix, cheap to buy and fast. After looking at a number of cars (Astras, Alpha 156s, Vectras etc) I decided that I couldn't possibly get a car that satisfied all 4 of my criteria.
Then I started looking at Mondeo s.
Mondeo's are regarded as boring by some, indeed by myself before I bought one, but having driven one for over a thousand miles I have reformed my opinions.
My car is a 1997 R reg 2.0 litre model in GhiaX trim. That means that I g ...

I bought this Ford Mondeo 2.0i 16v Ghia auto two months (1'500 miles ago) after reading some used car reviews, so it's still early days. So far I'm pretty impressed, although I did trade-up from a Seat Cordoba so we're not talking about premium cars here!All in all, having driven plenty of hire cars, this car does everything you'd want for a family without any unnecessary bells and whistles. If you're not a brand person and are happy to buy on spec and performance I'd put this up against a 5 ser ...

Bought this Ford Mondeo new when left a company and had to give back the Beamer. That was a nice car (3 series) but SOOOO small inside!! I'd previously had a Cavalier and when I'd taken the family on holiday it swallowed all the luggage. When I got the Beamer it could only take half the gear and cabin small too, all this in a car with same overall dimensions. That's what you pay for a straight engine and the rear wheel drive that BMW push so hard.
Anyway, I needed a car with more room and did s ...

Bought this 'Y' reg Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia with a relatively high mileage (45,000). Group 11 insurance. Cruises effortlessly. Automatic aircon/heating. Auto-dimming rear mirror!

My Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia family car is an estate with a full rs body kit and it only has a 2.0 front wheel drive engine but is faster than my old 206 gti and my brothers 2.0 vectra. The car has had its troubles with 2 new back boxes since I have owned it and a new alternator. This is a great practical car which on a run will do 35mpg+

For people who are less worried about the 'kudos' of driving a high end marque, the Ford Mondeo 2.0 16v Ghia X will provide a bargain in terms of motoring comfort. Equipped with such things as electric adjusting drivers seat, footwell lights, heated front windscreen, air conditioning and four speed electronic automatic transmission the Ghia X provides most things that the motorist could want on a car. I myself, have the auto transmission model and find it to be extremely driveable in city traffi ...

The Ford Mondeo mk2 estate is a nice car, the 2 litre ghia is one of the best, the 2.5 v6 ghia X is quick with everything from leather seats to cruise. The ghia
i give this car 10/10 because it's big, fast and handles great with a.s.m., t.c.s, l.s.d.

I bought a R reg Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia several years ago because its Euro NCAP safety rating then was a high 3 making it one of the best cars at that time. Since then, not only has the competition improved, but the introduction of a new NCAP test as part of the safety rating caused Mondeos of this age to be downgraded to less than 3. In the new pole test, the car is slid sideways into a static pole at low speeds (eg 15mph). This may intrude into the vehicle causing serious injury to the occupants ...
