Ford finds a replacement for cubic displacement with its new EcoBoost-powered Mondeo Zetec new Mondeo Zetec EcoBoost hatch deliver 149kW at 6000rpm and 300Nm at 1750-4500rpm -- 26 and 44 per cent gains respectively. The flip side is it trims 16 per cent (fuel) and 17 per cent (CO2) to register 8.0L/100km and 187g/km in the combined cycle. .......... The front wheels didn't scamper or spin under heavy acceleration, at least in the dry, allowing a cleaner sprint to the three-figure measure (9.3 seconds versus the 2.3-litre model's 10.5). ........ For performance fans, however, the EcoBoost doesn't quite fill the void left by the departure of the five-cylinder Mondeo XR5 Turbo and its tuneful 162kW/320Nm -- an engine good enough for 7.5 seconds 0-100km/h. That 7.5 sure is fun  , but over all too soon. Pity no Ecoboost normal manual for us dinosaurs, just have to keep my current Mondeo XR5 a lot longer (oh dear, what a shame).  |
