I had 2 trend wagons in a row. Both mechanically have been faultless, they are company cars and get serviced as per ford recommended schedule. We turned them over at 75,000kms. Both sat at about 6.5lp100km at an average speed of 46km/h. On a run from Sydney to Melbourne they got about 5.5 at best. I found the build quality poor. Car 1 had 3 new steering wheels we had over 30 in our fleet and they all had peeling wheels in summer. Both cars had squeaks and rattles. Car 2 had a revised coating on the steering wheel and was fine. Our company stopped Mondeos being available and gave the Passat and Outback options. I have a Passat know and it is in another league to the Mondeo in build quality. The Mondeo drives better than the Passat but not by a great margin.
