Review : Gang, This was one car I really hoped to see much more than what I got to see on Indian Roads. The Mondeo is indeed a beautiful car and has a good engine- I was really surprised that Ford could make an engine soooo good and straight in performance, though the diesel Mondeo was a slight let down when it came to numbers but overall the car is indeed an excellent performer. Both the petrol and diesel meet expectations. But as all good things mush come to an end - the great team Ford India has messed it up bigtime. They gave out Mondeo’s that were ’’OLD Models’’- not used but of previous years- who can forget the case where the poor gurgaon business man suffered at the hands of Ford - where he found out that the car he had been given by Ford as NEW was indeed about 2 years old and though they had commited 5-6 air bags the car actually had only 2. He had to go through the trouble of filing a court case- Back to the car- a beautiful piece of work and excellent ride and comfort. The product truly stands out- if you are lucky enough you will get a new one if not- it’s your bad luck. If I were to compare the handling characteristics of the car and the lovely ride- if you see the car glide on the road - and you are in an ol’ lemon maruti driving behind the Mondeo - the visual effect is enough to convince you to buy one. .
