Ford Mondeo review

Once upon a time, the Ford Mondeo held itself a bit of a reputation. Its clientele swayed towards the typical middle-class gentleman who lives in Kent, has a wife and two kids in a three-bed semi, and makes sensible but arguably rather dull life choices.

Thankfully, the world of the motorcar – and those who drive them – has come a long way since the term ‘Mondeo Man’ was coined back in the 1990s. These days, plenty of drivers are more likely to be driving an SUV.

In fact, low-riding executive cars – or at least ones without a premium badge on their nose – are becoming something of a rarity on British roads, so, choosing a Mondeo certainly won't suggest you’re following the herd these days. With that in mind, is it about time the Mondeo and other mainstream saloons and hatchbacks had a renaissance?
