Ford Mondeo: Ticking All The Boxes
It is quite a challenge to determine what makes a truly great car. I spent about an hour this morning arguing with my colleagues about the three top categories for choosing a car. Eventually we shook on value for money, engine performance and reliability. We all agreed there were other factors to take into account (practicality, top speed, gadgets) but the chosen three seemed most urgent.
Value for money relates directly to the quality of car you get for money paid. The chances are stacked against you getting a sporty car, with a V8 engine and all the safety certification in the world for less than £20,000, but if you can do it that would represent mega value for money. Engine performance takes into account not only BHP/torque and speed, but also issues such as economy issues (how much it costs to run) and ecology issues (CO2 Emissions). Finally, reliability became the third point to our holy trinity of what makes a truly great car, after all it doesn’t matter how amazing your car is, if it breaks down every 30 miles or so it is pretty much worthless.
When applying these categorisations to our knowledge of cars, one particular model kept popping up. Every time it was mentioned we dismissed it as a rather non-sensical idea, but the more you think about it the more it begins to make sense. The model in question was the Ford Mondeo.
I know what you’re thinking; you’re thinking ‘how can they consider the Ford Mondeo to be an awesome car?’ Well, that’s precisely why we dismissed it at first, but the Ford Mondeo unequivocally does tick all the boxes.
When it comes to Ford, no one does value for money quite as well as them. Engine performance on the Mondeo is awesome with great levels of power and economy. As far as reliability goes, the Ford Mondeo has one of the best names in the business. See if you can think of anything to rival the Ford Mondeo in these categories. It’s a pretty long game!
