UPDATE 20th April 2017: Another same spec Mondeo at my workplace had the transmission replaced!

Punchline: one owner, serviced at Ford regularly, automatic transmission replaced after only 75,000 km.
I really have to draw a comparison with my previous car, Ford Falcon, especially because this is supposed to replace it.
The good: When I first got the Mondeo, being my first diesel ever, I was surprised how quick it was. It is supremely comfortable. Huge luggage area (being a station wagon), for the first time ever I don't need to fit a roo...Read more

I have had this car now for over 3 years. In that time I have had no warranty issues. Mileage with the diesel engine is consistently around 1,000km per tank, which is outstanding. The power, drive ability, handling and cornering are exceptional for a wagon. Interior has plenty of room for 5 adults comfortably. Rear seats can be folded down which gives you a massive amount of space. Headlights are poor but have changed the bulbs to more powerful ones and that fixed the issue. Although Ford has fixed price servicing the diesel services are q...Read more

The company I work for ran these cars for about 5 years all wagons starting with petrol models before the diesels were available then the diesels until the new MD was released (Using Golf's now). All in all a good car, the diesel had plenty of power with bucket loads of torque. I found it comfortable and appointed ok for a base model. No auto head lights was my main gripe. Only a few issues over the years, the auto's have given us constant problems on a number of Vehical including mine. Had the auto computer re flashed a number of times which ...Read more

Alright folks I've had the car now for 3 years and 6 months - correction 3 years and 4 months, as it has spent almost 2 months at the dealership and the manufacturer.

This is over a cruise control issue that started in May 2014 and has not yet been resolved. Simply put either the cruise control refuses to disengage or it completely shuts off by itself, and there have been so many parts thrown at it over the last 22 months its not funny. Ironically, it seems that this particular vehicle is possessed and not even the ford engineering guys in ...Read more

Bought my Mondeo last month after I read the reviews here. Bought a company fleet 2010 Diesel Turbo Wagon MC and its quite economical but also has lots of power. The interior build quality is extremely good and feels very strong and classy. The dashboard although good could have been given a more modern look. The white colour looks good as Ford sells them with free premium paint. Did a 400 km highway trip and used just about 20 litres (5L/100 kms) of diesel so its extremely economical if you do highway trips. City driving yields around 7L-9L ...Read more

I bought my mondeo with 24000 km on it. I nave put another 25000 kms and it hasn"t missed a beat. The 2.3 litre engine needs more power but, no complaints. A lovely car to drive with good safety and comfort. The handling is sure and stable and I like how itsits on the road. I put aĺloys on it as it came with steelies and it looks as good as the day I got it. It can be a little noisy on some road surfaces but, generally a quiet car to sit in and enjoy. The interior is fuctional but over the top. I like the layout and find it easy to use. It cou...Read more

I am the proud owner of a diesel titanium hatchback and having owned many cars in my day this is the best by far. First the build quality is fantastic as it's built in Belgium and the engine is amazing. I get 1000kms from the 70l tank for the city cycle, it's got amazing tourqe for towing and still very zippy.
Very comfortable to drive, very solid (I was t-boned by a drunk driver doing 70kmh and the damage was surprisingly contained. Still written off so I went and got another mondeo).
The only things I can fault are the transmission and aut...Read more

I bought a new Mondeo Titanium Ecoboost in 2011 after looking at numerous medium/large cars (Aurion/Camry, Liberty, Passat). I made the decision based on it's driving characteristics and value for money. After 4 years I am happy to say it's been a fantastic car! The Ecosboost engine is torquey and the transmission is smooth (once warmed up). The suspension and steering are much better than a Camry and it is a sporty drive. It's been a good family car with plenty of room for kids in the back and bikes with the seat down. In all the car has been ...Read more

purchased as a 3 year old vehicle with 63,000kms on the clock, only had for 2 weeks, but put 2,000kms on it,
fuel appears to be tracking to the 1100 kms per tank, ride good, quiet, responsive . Has a solid feel, have given my partner a good drive too both in Sydney traffic and on the hwy. All good . Still getting used to the indicators on the "other side" and I'm finding the seat a tad uncomfortable after a while but haven't spent the time to check how to change, I've even taken it off road with a trailer getting firewood !!! I've had s...Read more

My Car is a new 2010 Dec build, on the road in Feb 2011 Diesel Zetec wagon.
Presently I have 31000 km on the clock and thinking seriously of updating to a new one or a Diesel Territory TS.
Resale on both in both is terrible though, so the Hyundai Highlander could be a better choice in 3 years from now.

Only warranty issue was a dealer replacement of something like a EGR valve near the turbo unit. Came up a warning alarm when the motor was running for 10 minutes from cold. That was at 20 000Km and seems OK since.

In 35 C weather, the aut...Read more

I drove a MA TDCi and a MC Ecoboost for a few weeks. A size above to any other mid-size rivals (inc. Camry), feels smaller when driving (unlike falcadores which definitely feel their sizes). Good equipment list with competitive price. Diesel engine is refined and has good grunt in mid range but a bit sluggish in take off. Feels a bit nose heavy than the petrol models. The new dual clutch in ecoboost is not as smooth as conventional automatics but heaps better than those from VW if you ever driven one. Turbo petrol four has the best chassis bala...Read more

Drove one of these around for about a week up in Sydney. Actually seemed like a pretty good car with good driving dynamics, nice interior trim, solid doors and not bad to look at. It is getting towards the end of its model life so some things like the centre console are a bit dated. Here are my gripes:
- the car was a bit underpowered or the automatic gearbox wasn't optimally ratioed. One of the two. Wife said the same thing when she drove it. Not totally gutless though.
- you could see nothing at all out the back window and with no rear came...Read more

The have a 2011 Diesel PowerShift Mondeo Wagon, has travelled 100,000km. The car is very comfortable and fuel efficient. Has great towing power. Unfortunately mine has had its clutches replaced twice, once at 60000KM and then again at 80,000. Still shudders in reverse gear.

The water leak - the car has leaked from new, has been back 4 times for different fixes. In every instance the leaks remain. The car leaks water from the drivers side vanety light and down the passenger side C pillar. Previous the Air Conditioning drain hose was dislodge...Read more
