The Mondeo LX was my first foray into the world of Ford. I had avoided them in the past because they seemed boring and very run of the mill. However this car has definitely changed my mind. In terms of space and comfort it is better than anything I have previously owned. I drive more than 20k miles per annum and was looking for a car that was reliable and comfortable with plenty of space for carrying luggage. The LX comes with air conditioning and a CD player as standard. This has served to make long trips much more comfortable and relaxing. With the 2.0i Zetec engine the car also has enough power to avoid that struggling feeling you get with some long drives. All in all this is a very good family car at the price.
