A mechanic i know had on ratio, 5 vags (golfs/superbs/a4s etc) vs 1 mondeo in, with more engine and electrical problems. He mainly worked on vags because he done work for a taxi company.

But most ford taxis where mondeos (with the odd galaxy) and they mainly got wear and tear stuff (service parts, disc n pads etc)

So a bold statement to say mondeos where shite, considering what the above is true - the mondeo brand has bode well for Ford in europe
