  • There is a distinct lack of Ford Mondeo reviews on RUclips, so I aim to fix that with this in-depth review of the ST-Line Edition from the 2019 facelift in estate/ station wagon form.
    Information about UK specs for 2019 facelift can be found at the below link although having found info on various publications, it is not entirely accurate for the UK market… Please note, they use some images that have an automatic gearstick in some (as opposed to rotary nob) and according to this, the boot sizes are totally different to how we calculate in the UK. It also says the ST-Line Edition does NOT have LED headlights (only day time running lights), so this is one thing I might have gotten wrong although the b roll shot in the video of the lights would suggest it has LED headlights! As always, happy to be corrected.

      Thanks for the comment. Assumed more than 40 mpg was well achievable!

    I love the unbiased and very fair review of a car that people ignore, disparage and overlook which I find absurd. Firstly, it's a great looking car, quite rare now and is reliable enough to stand comparison with all other rivals on the used forecourt in my opinion. So sad that Ford have pulled the Mondeo and the Fiesta recently. My 2015 Mondeo Titanium 180 diesel with a lowly 42K on the clock isn't the last word in performance but it's big, safe, comfortable and fun enough in sport mode in the twisty stuff - for me at least. It happens to be the 5th Mondeo I've owned. A coupe of observations if i may: The auto-dimming sensor in my car is Mondeo is brilliant, reacting to headlights coming towards the car, tail lights of cars ahead of me and even dips the main beam when street lights illuminate the road ahead. The XJ Jag I drove recently had a pathetic auto-dimming sensor which you had to over-ride all the time. Also I'm not a fan of the Sync 2 infotainment screen in my car - somewhat unresponsive when finger prodded with fiddly icons and just not that intuitive but in its defense it is a decade old in design. !! Great review - keep up the good work - Subscribed....

      Thanks so much for the detailed comment. Sounds like you've had a lot of love from Mondeo's.

    How's the 8 speed auto gearbox? We all know the powershift was basically a disaster, but what about this new one? Couldn't find much info online wbout reliability, but I hope it's at least somewhat more reliable, since it's a more traditional auto...

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble  2 месяца назад

      A whole since I drove it but thought it was a pretty good gearbox. It's no ZF but went about it's business fine at speed but a bit jerky lower down.

    Tell me, between this one and skoda suberb 2.0 190hp, which is best choice?

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! I'd probably go for the Superb but only as the boot is bigger and it just feels a bit more current.

      @@car_babble ah it’s more than capable, I just had the auto box serviced and it’s had the chain/belt (can’t remember which) replaced along with the water pump. Serviced regularly for the past 4 years of my ownership, not sure before then but it’s driving like a brand new car tbf so I reckon it’ll do another 100,000 fairly easily
