Ford Mondeo Titanium X 5 door 2008

4 star review

Awesome car; our sixth Mondeo, 2.0 Auto diesel. Last car was the Ghia x V6 and it puts it in the shade. Just watch the heads turning when you go by. Never had this with any other car. Excellent tow car with good MPG. Had a factory fitted sun roof, parking sensors, DVD SatNav (not as good as the Tom Tom 300 Go I own at a tenth of price). The turning head lights are also a bonus. Now the reason why I only gave it 4stars is that the road noise from the 18 inch wheels at 25 to 35 mph hurts my ears. Also tramlining on bad roads surely - this must be a safety hazard. Going to write to Ford when tyres wear down for any suggestion from them.

Ford Mondeo 140 Titanium X 2007

4 star review

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

2 star review

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.

Have driven the 2 litre TDI Estate for 2 years and often fully laden. The car is very economical and handles brilliantly on every occasion. First Mondeo I’ve owned and it certainly won’t be the last. Been driving for 50 years and tried many different models, but this is the best.

5 star review

My first week in the Mondeo. Comfortable and economical. To all the complaining Audi/BMW/Merc Drivers who now complain about the Mondeo, get a life. I worked for Mercedes-Benz for 27 years, yes they are nice cars but the Mondeo does exactly the same job but at fraction of the cost, and don’t kid anyone, probably more reliably too.

Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.0 TDCi 2007

5 star review

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 1.8 LX 1993

5 star review

Okay - they said its durable and mine has a low mileage, but simply it is. It never fails - only the starter motor after 15 years and I replaced that for very low cost. Buy high quality tyres and it holds the road even better. It never seems to rust and shines up well. This is an ordinary looking car with extraordinary low running costs.

Ford Mondeo 130 tdci ghia 2004

5 star review

Bought car from second hand dealer. Had completed around 85000 miles. Very quickly required new clutch & starter motor under guarantee. Still had to pay 25% of cost! Previously drove 1994 Mondeo diesel -great car, no undue problems over 250.000 miles. Have done about 10.000 miles with ’new’ Mondeo and the verdict: good mpg; computer shows 53.1 mpg over 10.000 miles. Verdict: Very satisfied -spacious, comfortable, and to date very reliable. Service car myself. Dithering whether I should get another timing chain at this mileage? Hear different views on that. Got real spare wheel from Breakers. I highly recommend Mondeo diesel.

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

1 star review

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

5 star review

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!

1 star review

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 1998

4 star review

Okay I know what you’re thinking. When you hear the words Ford Mondeo you don’t think wow babe magnet and instantly the word "Taxi" comes to mind. But I want to tell you that the 1998 Ford Mondeo is unbelievably reliable, even for its age. This is my second Mondeo and can’t imagine driving anything else (unless anyone knows a Ferrari going for under £5,000??? - worth a try!) She handles the road wonderfully and I do over 120 miles a day for work. The most recent MOT required slight work but did not exceed £200 and tha’ts the most I’ve ever had to pay out in the 3 years I have had her. Like my last Mondeo it was the back brakes that caused the dent in my purse, so if you’re planning on getting one keep an eye on this (perhaps it could be my driving though!!!). The car is extremely comfortable and reliable. The only downside is that it is not the best when it comes to petrol costs. She is a bit of a guzzler. I put £90 in a week...but I suppose this does get me 600 miles (is that good or bad? Maths is not my strong point). Anyway overall if you are thinking of getting a Ford Mondeo I don’t think you will be disappointed....oh and ladies there’s plenty of shopping room in the boot and storage places inside (no Imp not sexist...I am female!)

My Mondeo at first seems ordinary but you really feel her kick in on motorways, no rattle, no shake, just a smooth effortless drive, and the computer lets me know regarding lights, washer fluid oil etc, and a god send for a busy lady like me. Leather seats beautiful and comfortable, and what can i say the fast defrosting windscreen makes winter mornings easy!!! Heated seats give me a warm start! I feel i have a very luxurious car for my money and am quietly very impressed and pleased.

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 Zetec 2007

5 star review

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!

Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia petrol

5 star review

Very quiet car and very comfortable. Smooth drive and a very high spec. Don’t worry about buying one of these you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure you have enough room on the drive as it really is a big car! Masses of room inside for the driver and passengers. I can’t think of anything that lets this car down, however I agree water does collect along the rear window and when the boot is opened it can fall inside the car. This is a very minor gripe though and opening the boot slowly does solve the problem. Buy one you’ll love it!

This is such a great car, I’ve only had it for three weeks but it’s a fabulous car to drive and feels, not only in the drive but comfort, a lot more car than you actually pay for. The boot is huge, the only one down side being if it has rained it does tend to collect and then run straight into the boot when you open it, but not a huge amount. For all the positives this car has that really is the only flaw I can think of and it’s a minor one. Highly recommend.
