Ford Mondeo 1.8i 125 Zetec 5dr

very sensible car. Roomy, without the excess bulk of the latest mondeo. Very good value for money. My car has covered 25,000 miles and is absolute mint. Lovely refined drive, not a hot hatch - but who can get a move on anyway with today's crowded roads? Door and hatch door are not leakproof- don't take one through a car wash! Also the front brake callipers are sticking off and on. Has any other user found selecting reverse very difficult? At the moment the weather's mild so when the frost returns I feel i'll have trouble again. Sound system is first rate, excellent speakers, you could pay a bomb having a similar performance system installed. Overall I am more than satisfied with a safe (plenty of air bags) solid sensibly put-together quality car. Ford mondeo 1.8 2006 petrol

My fifth Ford in 18 years, as a brand they have all provided reliable and fairly economical motoring, which is why I stick with them for I use my own money.

(I have bought all of them second hand, although I once had a company Sierra.)

Everyone rates the Mondeo as a fine car.

Overall the Ford Mondeo 1.8i ZETEC is a fantastic family car. Great handling and ride although some might say a little firm but I like that. The rear seats are easily big enough for three adults and has 3 x 3 point seat belts no lap belts. I will definatley be buying another one but cant see the need really for a few years this does everything very well. One of the biggest bonuses is the enormous boot which is ideal for families. I wo.uld NEVER buy a new one though depreciation is awful

If you want an all round performer that can take a decent sized family and that doesn't feel likle a compromise, you can't beat the Ford Mondeo.The Mondeo handles superbly and doesn't feel radically different to the Focus. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone. Great trim in the Zetec, too, for toy lovers.

Ford Mondeo 1.8i 125 Zetec 5dr is a great Car. I bought my car about three months ago and i've had nothing but pleasure from it thus far. Its also a very spacious car...thats important to me for two reasons. One i've got a family...enough said there. Two, when i'm out clubbing, it may come in handy if I pick up a girl!!!

Seriously, the interior is very classy for a Ford, engine ticks over sublimly and the safety features are second to none.

The biggest compliment I can pay the car is I was once Ford's biggest critic...I've got a Ford Mondeo, my sister has a Ford Focus...now i'm their biggest fan!
