Is the Ford Mondeo Estate a good car?
Choosing the estate version of the Ford Mondeo means you get the same driving chracteristics, but also benefit from a huge and practically shaped boot. The Mondeo offers a decent range of petrol and diesel engines, with the diesels making the most sense, because they combine useable performance with manageable running costs.
When did the Ford Mondeo Mk 4 come out?
The Ford Mondeo Mk IV (third generation), codenamed CD345 was officially unveiled in five-door production form by Ford in late 2006. Based on the EUCD platform developed with Volvo, the platform was the same as that used in the new large MPVs Galaxy and S-MAX, but not the North American Ford Fusion or the Mazda Atenza in Japan.
Why did Ford bring the Mondeo back to Australia?
The 2007 Mondeo marked the return to the Australian market after a six-year absence, due to a resurgence in popularity of medium-sized cars in the last few years. This is in no small part the result of high fuel prices making people reconsider purchasing large cars like the Ford Falcon.
Is the Ford Mondeo the same as the hatchback?
The Ford Mondeo Estate gets the same dashboard as the hatchback, with an intuitive design and high-quality construction. Plenty of adjustment for the driver’s seat and steering wheel means that getting comfortable should be easy, too.
Which is better Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Insignia?
The Ford Mondeo Estate is much better to drive than the Vauxhall Insignia Tourer, thanks to sharp steering that gives lots of confidence in corners and suspension that keeps body lean in check. Zetec trim gives you sportier suspension, but the car is still perfectly comfortable for everyday use.
How long is the warranty on a Ford Mondeo?
Ford’s warranty, which covers you for three years or 60,000 miles, is also starting to look a bit mean against the seven-year scheme offered by Kia. However, Ford will extend its cover at extra cost. Electronic stability control and seven airbags are standard, so the Mondeo scored five stars when it was crash-tested by Euro NCAP.
