Ecoboost Zetec? As Molly used to say, do yourself a favour...
What can I say? I had to think about the Cons whereas I had to restrict myself with the Pros! This car is soooo nice to drive in all but lengthy stop/start traffic. The dual clutch manual is otherwise a gem, so smooth between the gears - almost imperceptible. The turbo provides linear power delivery and over the last two months in what are generally short 5 - 10 minute suburban trips has achieved a very respectable 9L/100km average fuel use (our 2001 Magna V6, which had less power & same torque) used to get 12-13L/100 kms in same conditions).

andling is flat & confident. Brakes are extremely effective. Interior space is virtually Falcodore like and the boot is huge/flat/very usable. Zetec gets auto wipers, auto headlights, voice control radio/CD(single disc)/mobile phone B'tooth (steering wheel vol/tune controls), front/rear parking sensors and cool dash display/read out, cruise, more airbags than I can count & climate control. I cannot understand why so many people buy Camrys when there is this car on the market. My Holden mate (owns 2010 Calais) that lives across the road from me has had a massive re-think on what he thought for his next car might be (I think the Mondeo Titanium might suit). Just make sure you test drive one when you next looking for your next car!!! Smooth power delivery in conjunction with Powershift dual clutch manual, economy, power, interior space, large boot, handling, style in & out. Mobile Bluetooth sounds like its under water (maybe needs a service?), indicator stalk on left, can be a little jerky from stop/start with Pwrshift (tiring to achieve smooth take off all the time), high-ish rear end (rear vision), bland front lower grille, weekly cleaning of wheels due to brake dust.1 comment

Brilliant family hatch
Picked up a TDCi hatch titanium. Brilliant little performer and great value for money! Only gripe from partner is lack of reversing camera, but for me the sensors are fine. Sat nav would be nice too but an easy fix. Considering all the other features you get those minor shortcomings are soon forgotten. The keyless entry plus start is infinitely handy as is the massive boot!

Nice upgrade
Brought the 2010 model as a 2nd hand car with 6000km on the clock, filled the car up, and am still running on my first 50L.
Car is not as wide as my old 99 Holden CommonDoor, but has plenty of room in side - highly recommend for a family car if your cant afford a full sized car, or don't like the larger ones.
Nice Big boot and wonderfully designed dash board (if you dont want to use voice control)
Fuel, finishing, climate control
Takes a while to respond when you put you foot down

Ok car but trading happily now.
Loved the car to start with but felt like it dated quickly. I like Fords in fact I pick up a new Territory on Friday so I cannot knock the vehicles. My Mondeo has served me well. Great on fuel. Will never buy a car without leather again though. Water leaks in through the hatch in heavy rain and I have had a knocking in the exhaust that I have not been able to get sorted in 6 services.
Other than that great car with excellent styling, good performance and a benchmark in its class without doubt. Fords I find get better as you go up the range and I will always go top of range now.
Cheap motoring, lovely styling.
Rattles in chassis never solved.

It sounds as if you have a problem with your door seals, which is why water is leaking in.

Questions & Answers
Naveed R.asked
Hi All. I was looking to buy 2012 Ford Mondeo zetec TDCI automatic (diesel) with 175,000 km on the clock. An older gentlemen is selling it cheap (around 6000$) in my suburb. I was looking to drive it for Uber (at least one year) due to its spacious interior / boot, and fuel economy. I have heard some bad reviews about its dual clutch transmission. Just asking folks out there, will it be a good buy. should i do pre-purchase inspection and how to do transmission check. what to look for ? etc. Thanks you.

The gear box MUST be serviced every 60,000km. If your transmission hasn't been serviced to 175,000 I'd keep well clear. I've got a 2011 taxi mondeo with a transmission that's done 380,000km and still strong, but I've strictly serviced it every 60,000.

It's now June 2014 and we still love this car, originally reviewed 11/2012. Re the bluetooth, I think it ended up being the wife's mobile, not the car. Its so easy on long trips, and gets down into th... Read more
e mid to high 7L/100kms on those trips. Effortless, irrespective of the terrain. You have to give it a try!
