| Ford freshened up their fleet favourite after less than four years, improving ride and occupant space. This Mondeo is a cost-effective family choice that's nice to drive. |

| In the mid-Nineties, Mondeo was the benchmark for medium family cars. This second generation car got sleeker styling, more cabin space, and revised suspension to improve ride comfort and sharpen up the handling. Inside, Mondeo is roomy enough for four, nicely trimmed and well put together. Best value is the mid-spec GLX, with air con from 1998 and alloy wheels a year later. The 1.6i is geared for economy, making the livelier 1.8i preferable. The 1.8TD does the job and gives 45mpg but lacks refinement. The 2.0i feels sporty and looks the part in Zetec trim (1999 on). Fuel, insurance and servicing costs are reasonable up to this level, but climb steeply with the potent 2.5i V6 engine. Reliability is generally good, but check high-mileage cars out with care as some big maintenance jobs are costly. Shortcomings are below-average safety and security, even by the standards of the time. |
