Mondeo Hatchback
The first thing that strikes you on sliding behind the wheel is just how big this car is. The high window-line forces you to sit with the seat cranked up, and even then it's not easy to judge the extremities of the car. Fortunately, the seat is supportive and there's masses of adjustment to help you make yourself comfortable. The standard dashboard layout is simple, too, but satellite-navigation brings a touch-screen that makes things overly complicated.

Running Costs
Ford has kept Mondeo prices low to deter massive discounting, and it has promised to limit sales to rental fleets in an effort to push up second-hand values. However, we still expect resale values to be weak. Leasing rates and running costs are competitive for the class.

Running Costs
The Mondeo is a bit pricier than rivals from Citroen, Toyota and Vauxhall, but we reckon it’s worth it on the whole. Fuel economy and CO2 emissions aren’t far behind those of the class leaders, too, so it won’t cost much more to run. Resale values are about average for the class.

However, we still expect resale values to be weak, and the saloon will suffer more in this respect than the five-door. Leasing rates and running costs are competitive for the class.
