We have had these Mondeos at the Dealership now for weeks. I don't see them as anything special?

One of my staff took delivery of a black Mondeo Zetec hatch the week before Christmas, its sure looks nice and had a great look with just the right amount of chrome on the exterior.

Ford marketing has something to answer for,a hell of a lot of people om a FORD forum dont even know what a mondeo looks like,despite the fact they have been on sale for months.

They seem like nice cars, but I think their styling will date quickly.

Agreed - Even when you go to the website and look at the 2 of these I still find it hard to spot the difference.


I think they are good cars though.

IMO though I don't think they'll sell a trillion of them just because its a small market segment and australians just don't seem to go for large FWD cars (ie Magna etc).

Shame though - its a reasonably good looking car on the road and has gotten a lot of good reviews.
