Great to drive, good quality, economical.
A little clattery at start-up, car feels slightly nose-heavy on the road.
A fine long-distance cruiser, this flagship diesel Mondeo compares favourably with the premium German competitors.
For a car in this segment, it won't get any cheaper than this. Insurance is Group 12E, thanks to lower accident repair costs; the official combined fuel consumption is 45.6mpg; and carbon dioxide output is quoted at 165g/km, putting it in Band D (and Band H from 2009).
Ford's main dealer servicing and maintenance costs are lower than average, although most jobs can be carried out by independent garages anyway.
