The Mondeo 2.5 Ghia X is a really good car - if only it had a BMW badge on the boot then it would get the recognition it derves.
Okay, so the 2.5 drinks petrol like it's going out of fashion - but you know that when you buy a 2.5! The engine is smooth and powerful, but does like revs. It'll just about beat 60mph in second gear which makes for great overtaking. The handling is good for such a large estate car; it's no sports car but it is sure footed and consistent.
The boot is huge, particularly with the seats down. The interior is roomy all round and there's plenty of gadgets to play with. Mine had SatNav which was good when it was working - two units were replaced under warranty until the dealer realised that the problem was with the aerial...
Ford dealers don't seem to be any better or any worse than the rest, but they are cheap. 'Minor' 12,500 miles services are £130 and even the major four year services will cost you less than £200. I had a few things replaced under warranty, included a heated rear screen. Tyres are expensive, and their life depends very much on the brand.
As I said, don't buy a 2.5 anything if you want good petrol consumption. Otherwise the Mondeo is a very good buy indeed.
