Ford Mondeo 1.8TDCi 2007
Simply one of the best cars I have driven and certainly the best I have owned. I had the previous style Mondeo and rated that highly but the 2007 onwards one is better. Loads of space, handles like a smaller car, I get 50 mpg (most people get 38-45) quiet to drive in. I am lucky enough to get driven round in various Mercs and BMW’s and I am not convinced that dynamically they are better cars. Faults: A damper went after 2000 miles and the radio a little later, both were fixed under warranty with no quibble, and no other faults in 82,000 miles. The boot water problem can be fixed by the dealer. If you get a 2007 or early 2008 1.8 tdci make sure you have the later software added as it makes the car much easier and quicker to pull away at roundabouts and T junctions. Also beware the sports suspension and 17/18 inch wheels; the Mondy owner websites are full of people who complain of the harsh ride on those versions, stick to the standard versions and be cossetted is my advice. I am just about to order another new Mondy (with my own money) as have been so happy with this one. Ford have come a long way lately.

Ford Mondeo TDCi 2007
I have had this car from 6 months old, great except for now when changing gear going up hill the revs go high then back to normal, this happens regulary, not all the time though! Otherwise a great car, apart from turbo hose having a crack in and no turbo kicking in on motorway.

Ford Mondeo 2.0 140PS GHIA TDCI 2007
Good: Performance, economy, handling, space and practicality. Bad: Tramlining on 17 inch wheels, unprogressive brakes, water spills into boot when opening after rain. This is a brilliant car. Go on try one! Just remember to specify parking sensors...it’s huge! Economy averages 44 and that’s in town. Road noise is ok on my car, don’t know about other models. Build is high quality.

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Edge Estate 2007
I’ve normally opted in for a company car, but when I recently joined my new company, I decided to take some cash to British Car Auctions in Blackbushe. I wasn’t even looking for a Mondeo, but this one came in, in mind condition, ex lease, fully stamped and serviced just 4000 miles ago. It had done an intergalactic 118K miles, but when the hammer was about to go down at £4300 I stuck up my hand and the hammer went on my bid at £4400. It saled through its MOT (needing just a headlight adjustment which the testing station did for free) hasn’t used any oil in the last 4000 miles. I’ve had BMW’s Audi’s and VW’s in the past in all sorts of variants the best being a Golf GTI edition 30 and the worst a 320d Sport which was so hard it could knock you fillings out. But I’m here to tell you that this low spec ford it fabulous, not the quietest and I suspect the rear suspension bushes need replacing as even my 9 year old pointed out that the cats eyes in the road went up her spine! But really, considering I paid £4800 (after auction fees) + tax and MOT for a car I’d easily have to stup up £6700 for in some ropey old second hand car dealer, I’m absolutely chuffed to bits. If I drive gingerly I can get 62MPG, if I drive like a typical k**b in an Audi I’ll get closer to 43. I really think that some of those people that have given this 1 star are either bad at driving, or have experienced a duff one, but I’ve had duff BMW’s and VW’s before, and the Laguna I had was plain awful. I guess its always down to taste, while it isn’t as good as my MK5 golf GTI (that was just brilliant at everything) it’s a hell of a lot cheaper, holds and handles near as dammit as well as a BMW 3 (especially when it snows!), is massive, great all rounder. I say well done Ford, I’ll have another one when you get the Dual Cluch Auto!

Ford Mondeo 1.8 TDCi 125BHP Titanium X 2007
Car drives very well and is relatively economic averaging 46mpg. Massive in size both in the boot and cabin, externally also massive, although with parking sensors all round I can park in tight spots. (Wouldn’t try some of the spots without them.) Active front light system is a boon to me as my daughter is courting a farmers son and he lives 3 miles off the main road along some very twisty roads. Biggest niggle is the water rushing in to the boot after rain, I know people say lift a little and you will shed must of it, but when it’s pouring down you don’t want to wait. Things replaced under warranty between 40,000 & 50,000miles: A/C condenser Power Steering Motor Heated rear screen.

Ford Mondeo 2007
Just had the car a week and love it. It’s very spacious and extremely comfortable to drive. Start off is a bit slow but when it goes it’s very fast. Will drive it until it is considered a banger.

Ford Mondeo ghia 2.0tdci 140 2007
Have had the car 3 years from new. It had a nasty knocking at the front nearside when I first had it. It took 6 visits to the dealer before they sorted it. It was a defective Mcphereson strut. No other problems since. The "shower" when opening the boot after rain is annoying. There is a nasty blindspot even with the excellent wing mirrors. Obviously others have complained about this as the up-dated model offers a solution with an electronic gismo in the mirrors. All in all an excellent car, with good economy, loads of room and very comfortable to drive. Just completed a 1500 mile round trip in France. Averaged 68mph and returned 50.1 mpg. This car has been so good I have just ordered another one. This time a Titanium estate.

Ford Mondeo Edge 1.8 Diesel 125 bhp 6 speed 2007
I purchased a used Ford Mondeo Edge (57- new shape ) 1.8 Diesel 125 bhp -6 speed gears and with only 3000 miles on the clock plus it came with thunder metallic paint and factory fitted reversing sensors and alloy wheels with continental 215/55R 16 93V Tyres. It has been a perfect car with absolutely no faults although if you wish to give a pleasing criticism it can accelerate a touch too fast so if you have the glove box open everything shoots out when you boot it. I think Ford have given so much away in the Mondeo "Entry range" that it is really not whorthwhile to spend extra hundreds or thousands of pounds on bits of chrome or hi-tec gadgets.

Ford Mondeo titanium 2007
This car is brilliant for long journeys, however, it is murder to park and awful in traffic jams. It is very noisy. Main issue with the car is that it intermittently loses power. It’s happened 7 times in 45K miles, however, the last time was at 70 mph going down the motorway. Losing all power, including steering etc., is never ideal whilst you’re overtaking. Dealership cannot find the problem until it happens again!! The scientific testing they suggest is to drive it around and see if they can replicate the problem. I have contested the car with the leasing company as I no longer feel safe in the car and believe it is not fit for purpose. I would no longer recommend it to anybody.

Ford Mondeo Titanium TDCi 2.0 LT 2007
I have driven many cars in the past but this car is better than any other - so there are few around... so what? It shows that there are some happy drivers out there. Interior space is amazing, boot is enormous, handling is A1 and driving it is a pleasure.

Ford Mondeo 140 Titanium X 2007
Great car marred by noisy 18" low profiles which I have now changed for 215x55 x16 on nice rims to keep rolling radius the same - now much, much better. Juicier than my 05 130 Zetec by about 5 mpg - less overall but you get a lot of car for your money. Parking sensors are a must and despite what they tell you they can be retro fitted (it cost me £24 DIY) and has not affected the computer. I intend to run a clear mastic bead in the gap under the rear window to lessen the volume which spills after rain into the boot, if it works I will have no complaints about the car. If your pocket stops you from new rims/tyres try cutting thick carpet to the profile of the boot mat and placing it underneath also put some under the back seat, it might lessen the drumming effect.

Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2007
This car started out with great promise but has become the worst I’ve owned for electrical problems. Even my BL Allegro was more reliable! These faults have caused it to be returned to the dealer just too many times. I have owned this car for 22 months and I have now had enough and have traded it in for a Mazda6.

Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.0 TDCi 2007
I love this car, and having driven many, it’s without doubt my favourite. The performance: handling is superb, I’ve sports suspension which can indeed make the ride a little bumpier coupled with the lower profile tyres; however, the cornering, the poise - fantastic. I’m surprised at people reporting high interior noise. I’ve never driven a quieter car. Perhaps consider your type of tyres. Despite being a big car, the torque is impressive and a delight for driving. Brakes are powerful indeed. The gizmo’s inside are a delight - I’ve now driven 10000miles without a single problem. Fuel economy averages around 37mpg so not too bad, although I’d have expected better. If you’re a badge snob, buy a BMW or Audi, but I’d rather save my thousands of pounds and stick with this car. A Ford Mondeo and people are impressed - what more could you want in a family car? What I don’t like: parking! I’d recommend parking sensors if you’ve the option. Tramlines a little whilst braking hard - but nothing to be concerned about, water can drip into the boot on opening - no big deal if you open it slowly. And that’s it. :)

Ford Mondeo Titanium x 2.0 petrol 2007
Had 2 of the previous models with the same engine and had no trouble at all. I’ve had trouble from day 1 with the new one, the electrics are a total disaster, gearbox gives of a knocking noise every time you engage a gear and whines all the time, they have tried to fix the faults on numerous visits no success. the only good thing about it is the size.

Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.0 TDCI Auto 2007
After all the hype and glowing reports of the new Mondeo, I thought I’d give it a go after driving and Audi for a number of years and looking to change. I find the road noise unbearable, the auto box can only be described as "Industrial" and it is completely uninspiring to drive. It has some decent features and is quite a good looking car, it is huge inside and the boot is cavernous. The electrical malfunctions suffered to date have been numerous (broke down 1 day after delivery and didn’t see the car again for another month and still have niggling issues!!) leave me feeling that Ford have tried to put too much wizardry into the car which will cause headaches for many owners. Like Gary, I am stuck with the thing for a couple more years and once it’s time is up, I’ll be walking straight back into my nearest Audi dealership.

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 Ghia 2007
I spend at least 40 hours a week on the roads and needed an economic, comfortable and professional looking car. I looked at both the Volkswagen Passat and the Peugeot 407 but the superior power of the engine and impressive fuel economy swung me towards the Mondeo. The 2 litre diesel engine gives me what I need from a car - performance, pull and economy. The one thing for which the Mondeo completely stands out from its rivals? It’s stops you putting the wrong type of fuel in your car!

Ford Mondeo Titanium X TDCi 2007
John Groves. Are you sure the Mondeo Titanium X is the best car you have driven? The ride is hard due to the 18inch alloys and 40 profile tyres. Also, the road noise is unbearable. Compared to the equivalent Laguna’s; this car is the pits. I’ve had 3 Laguna’s and thought I’d try a Diesel Titanium X Mondeo rather than the Laguna. More fool me. Now I’m stuck with a car that is way inferior to the Laguna.

Ford Mondeo Titanium X Tdci 2007
I have to say having previously owned 3 Renault Laguna’s, I think i’ve made a major mistake opting to buy a Ford Mondeo Titanium X Tdci 130Bhp. Where do i start. The Road noise even at slow speed is very annoying. Also you feel every bump in the road. I put this down to the 225/40/18 low profile tyres on the 18 Titanium X rims. The Six speed box is far from a smooth gear change. The half leather seats are very uncomfortable when on long journeys. The only benefit with this car is the MPG you get with the 6th gear on motorways. If you can put up with the road noise.

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 Zetec 2007
This is the best family car available in the UK market today. Both Top Gear and What Car? magazines award the Modeo the full five stars out of five, an award that is very difficult to achieve. Why is the Mondeo so highly rated? The Modeo offers the smoothest, quietest drive that I have ever had. It almost feels like you are not moving. Road noise is barely noticeable, even at higher speeds. There is plenty of room inside the quality interior, the boot is HUGE and the rear seats split to offer you different seating arrangements. The Mondeo is, quite simply, quality The new car price being between £15,000 and £23,000 and this makes it excellent value for money. I honestly thought that Ford were losing their edge but I must say that I am mightily impressed!
