pompei Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Had a nosey through this at Tesco today - nice little two pager about buying cars for 500 notes or less - some but not all of the usual suspects - Rover 200 cab, Citroen XM and the ubuitous Mundano.

retrogeezer Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I never thought I'd say it but I really like my Mondeo - very smooth and relaxing to drive, quiet, everything works etc. Owes me about £600 at the moment.Mind you, mine is a one owner from new Ghia so it should be nice.

Mr Lobster Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Autocar do run quite a few articles on buying old cheap stuff which are usually pretty good. Someone in the editorial staff obviously likes their shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the Mk6 Escort, the seats seem to be designed for circus freaks and it's impossibe to get a comfortable position, and the pedal layout is very odd.

I found my Mondeo Ghia X very comfortable to drive, seats were superb and I didn't notice anything amiss with the driving position. Agree with you about Mk6 Escorts though - the seats in those are appalling, I had backache after driving that LX back from Thirsk. I think Mk1 Escort seats were more supportive than those. Maybe the base Mondeos have the same seats as the Escort? I dunno, but the Ghia X seats were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
