1999 Ford Mondeo GLX 1.8
Summary:
Good value for money, but nothing show off
Faults:
No incidents to report really. So far car went to the garage only according to the regular maintenance programme.
The only small things to report are: The rear registration plate lights tend to burn quickly. So far I have changed them three times or so. One or two of the heated windscreen wires do not work anymore. Sometimes I have experienced that some of the loudspeakers are silent (6000 radio).
In general I find the car extremely dependable.
General Comments:
Nice spacious car, the only things I miss sometimes are cruise control and more interior lightning (back seat!)
Ghia would be nicer in this respect.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

A note on the seatbelt sticking problem - if you fold the back seats down, then ram them back up again quite hard, the seatbelt should unstick. Happened to me and the dealer fixed it in five minutes.
I also am continued to be annoyed by the squeak caused by the aluminium-effect trim around the gearstick (Zetec model) rubbing against the black plastic side panels of the centre console, which also seem to have a large amount of movement.
