Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi review - verdict
Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 Titanium X Road Test
Test Date 13 June 2007
Price When New £23,395
Verdict
Even in the £21,000 top-of-the-range form we test here, this Mondeo has the qualities to be a more-than-plausible competitor against similarly priced premium offerings. If it were a little more stylish, it might win over more brand obsessives than those already tempted by its impressive roster of qualities.
Not only are the basics right, such as packaging, comfort, convenience and economy of ownership, but the Mondeo also serves up plenty of the sophistication that premium buyers seek. Many premium buyers will ignore all this and remain unable to contemplate a Ford, despite its lower price — but that’s their loss.
Against its direct competitors, many shortly to be replaced, such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Renault Laguna, it is an easy winner. The only real disappointment is styling that’s less exciting than the hardware wrapped within.That apart, this is an excellent car.
