To quote Jeremy Clarkson,

"Everytime i drive a Mondeo ST220, i think to myself, why would you buy anything else ?, they do everything, practicle, quick, drive well, they have all the bases covered"


and as far as the tape on the bumpers goes, thats the standard, piss poor bumpers, the ST bumpers are very well made

to be fair mate, there never going to be a well loved or respected car, or set the world on fire, but i like them, this is my 4th, 2nd V6, and ive never had a major problem yet, in well over 10 years of driving them

had mine on the ramp the other day, floor, sills, chassis legs, clean as a whistle, tiny bit of rust on the boot floor, but for a 13 year old ford, with 106k on it, its standing up up pretty well.
