It's ok, not the same as my old Falcon, but alright. Once I hit 3rd though, it really kicks in and she takes off. The lack of Torque is really only noticeable when going uphill and overtaking. But she gets to 100 pretty quickly. I know that sounds like it doesn't make sense, but it's true. So I am putting it down to 3rd being the best for power. However, when you have a car that handles as good as a Mondeo, a little less power is not that bad.
