Title: Mundano running costs?
Post by ro284 on May 16^th, 2011, 12:02pm

Never really looked at a Mondeo before, at all! have always gone for scorpio estate, but finding things heavy going financially, so wondered about having a look. i need the space of an estate, any one got experience of them? or know about running costs. mpg, etc?
cheers

My S Class 320 will do 40 on a run and that weighs nearly tons!

just for interest, my 2-9 did 26 maximum on a 700 mile run, and my 2-3 did 31 on a 60 mile trip

See:

And:

Google 'ford mondeo fuel consumption'

Doesn't seem to be a lot of worthwhile difference compared to a Scorpio

Wife has a Y reg Ghia X (2.0) and she averages 28mpg on the commute to work. I take almost exactly the same route in my 27 Scorpio and I'm averaging 19mpg.

On a motorway run from Blackpool down to Bognor, we average 38mpg in the Mondeo and 27mpg in the Scorpio.

The Scoprio is miles and away the better car - quieter, more comfortable, more stable at speed, much better specced etc. Easliy worth the difference in mpg imo.
