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 purchased my 2009 Mondeo TDCi from a friend two years ago. He looked after his cars, treated them like a good woman with the respect they deserve, so I knew I was on to a good thing. In a former life I was once a private chauffeur and it was said that I could make my employers Merc dance if called upon to do so. The same goes for the Mondeo. Normally I wouldn't waste spit on a Ford, but the German engineering of the Mondeo, the leather seats, the solid feel and the classy dash made it feel like I was behind the wheel of a quality automobile. ...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

Changed our 2009 Mondeo over in August for a 2012 Titanium TDCi with 8000k on the clock, while I was very happy with our first Mondeo this one is even better, it has all the safety equipment you could ask for including adaptive cruise, lane change indicators and is more powerful than our previous car but still as economical recently got 1200 out of tank on open road, as previously stated Ford are letting them selves down big time by not pushing this car I know it lacks reversing camera and sat nav but all the other assets it has puts it right u...Read more

I spent over 12 months considering what car I wanted for my new car back in 2008. I didn't want something 'common', wanted something with good pick up and go and wanted all the features without paying a fortune!

In 2009 I purchased a 12 month old 2008 Ford Mondeo Zetec under a lease arrangement through salary packaging. I love love loved it! My 3 year lease just expired a couple of months ago and I was hesitant to get rid of it. I ended up trading in for a new 2013 Mondeo Zetec which has all the features of my old car plus more!

The abso...Read more

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).
