What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

For Rewarding drive, keen prices

Against Engines lack refinement; no hard image; hatch version is more versatile

Verdict Compelling combination of driving pleasure, practicality and affordability

Go for… 1.8-litre LX

Avoid… V6 petrols

Ford Mondeo Saloon
  • 1. There are many used Mondeos for sale, so only settle for a first-rate example
  • 2. The brakes have been known to give problems, so insist on a good drive to give them a proper test
  • 3. Warranty Direct tell us that the axles and suspension are among the biggest source of problems
  • 4. There's space in the back for three adults to sit abreast in comfort
  • 5. The saloon's boot is big, but the hatchback version is the more versatile
