Ford says farewell to 'Mondeo man' as car to be phased out
The car, which became synonymous with a certain type of British motorist, will be phased out next year.

Yeah it shows the sad thing about image of certain brands. Ford knew the mondeo couldn't just be like an a4 or a 3 series. It had to offer better toys to compete.I've got one currently as a works motor, tremendous car. Couldn't believe the amount of extras it had on it when I got it. Almost feels like a downgrade getting in the missus Audi.
So not true, the mondeo is a much better car to drive. Some might go for the badge I guess..great car, but ultimately destined for failure when BMW was able to knock out entry level 320D's for the same price.
Yesterday"Mondeo man" is more aspirational today and wants a 320 BMW with black alloys.
I agree 100% that the mondeo is a better car. I had a high spec diesel estate mondeo for a few weeks as a hire car, and honestly, its every car I could have ever hoped for.So not true, the mondeo is a much better car to drive. Some might go for the badge I guess..
Was it a better car to drive though? It's a good 25 years since I've driven either but surely the RWD balance of the BMW makes it a better drivers car?So not true, the mondeo is a much better car to drive. Some might go for the badge I guess..
Its all I drove for 3 cars in a row. I went to a vectra after the mondeo's and god it rolled like a ship in distress. Great on motorways, **** on snake pass.I agree 100% that the mondeo is a better car.

You don't have to keep the engine at 5000 revsI’m also on my third Mondeo. Bought this one second hand in 2015 for £5000. It was a 2008 model. It has passed each MOT first time since and I can get 3 sets of golf gear in the boot including trolleys. Ideal for motorways with cruise control but a bit overpowered for town as I have to drive in 3rd gear or I am over the 30 mph limit!
