The new Ford Mondeo is a stunning performer consistent and capable. The new emerging luxury segment is currently seeing a flood of activity with the introduction of Skoda Octavia, and the early birds like the Mercerdes-Benz C-Class, Honda Accord and the Hyundai Sonata. The styling of the Mondeo is class leading which, manifests the New Edge design theme of Chris Bird the chief of European design team. It is a strikingly elegant car. The chassis and suspension is exemplary, the car does not wither when driven hard nor does it hamper directional stability. One wouldn't guess that a diesel engine is employed in this car, the performance is incredible. The gearbox is silky smooth. The interiors are well sorted out and the quality of the materials is top notch. If there is any vehicle in the D-Segment, which would win a race hands down, it is the Ford Mondeo without any doubt.
