Chosen Vehicle
FORD MONDEO
DIESEL HATCHBACK (1996 - 2000)
1.8 Ghia X TD 5dr
Review
tinman, South West
Pros:
Excellent road holding and cornering both in dry and wet
Heated leather seats, CD Multichanger
50+ MPG if you drive economically (I've regularly had that down to 30 MPG driving heavily though)
Superb reliability. Never broken down in the 4.5yrs I've had it (35,000 miles worth)
Cons:
Sluggish, the 1.8TD is a bit feeble for the size of car, better to go for a 2.0
Not enough legroom for a driver over 6ft tall (or for the person sat behind)
Comments:
If you want an economical, bullet-proof car that's fun to throw around the twisty lanes then this one's worth considering, but don't be surprised if a 1.4L Fiesta leaves you behind at the traffic lights
