Mondeo Satisfaction?

[bathurst77]

I thought I would ask users who have had theri Mondeos for more than a couple of months, how they feel about their cars.

Mines a Zetec, and I have had it about 9 months now.
All in all Im sorry I bought it. I will trade it in 3 years without a second thought.

PLUS
Interior Room
Boot Space
Interior and Exterior styling
Automatic Headlights
Steering and cornering at highway speeds
highway cruising power is adequate
lots of goodies and trim makes you feel youre not really in a rep mobile.
info on stereo display

Against
Dealer experience when buying (no four letter word is strong enough)
never heard a word from ford after buying, no surveys, no thank you or follow up letters. Nothing!
Doors leak when rainning (door wells fill with water)
Water runs in when hatch is opened
rear screen washer sprays hatch lip instead of window.
Visability out with thick A pillars and limited rear vision
rear parking sensors too quiet, front ones too loud!
indicator/wiper stalks on wrong side
auto wipers are a gimmick, prefer to have a nomal intermittant and demand flick
non locking fuel cap
cant fill from gerry can if run out fuel (which it did!)
ran out of petrol 2 days after buying due to fuel guage fault (now fixed)
doesnt feel well screwed together for long term reliability etc.
worry about cost of parts and service once out of w'tee
lack of low down power
stereo sound only average
no sat nav
my kids have trouble seeing out of high waist line rear windows so they want to kneel and sit up,
no rear vent outlets

After buying 5 fords in a row, (3 new, two used) I think this is my last one.
