Test Drive Ford Mondeo Sedan since 2010 Sedan

Practical time

For a long time, the universals in Russia were not in honor. However, times change, change and we. Ford Mondeo Station Wagon One of the best-selling universal, at least in Moscow.

We have already experienced such a car, but with a diesel engine. This time we take a gasoline option with a two-liter engine, which is 145 hp. It is really capable of hooking anyone.

The main difference between the Mondeo-universal from the sedan is a huge glazed trunk. 540 liters of its volume wealth is considerable. Seats can be folded, then it turns out and at all 1,700 l one of the best results in the classroom. It would be nice if together with the back folded (separately) and the back seat itself, but it does not make much weather. But in the boards of the luggage compartment there are niches molded directly in noise insulating foam. You put everything there anything, at least light bulbs, without fear that they will rattle or break.

Actually the salon is exactly the same as in the sedan. We have repeatedly passed on the interior of the model, because we only remind that Mondeo has a nickish rear review. The trouble in the outer mirrors: they are not only small, but also have an incomprehensible form. And if in the sedan and hatchback you can put up with this, then in the universal with such an overview just the misfortune rear racks are quite wide, and the transparent part of the glass itself is less than I would like.

The first start in the Pooh and the dust will spread the theory that the universals are created only for traveling to the country and in the supermarket. However, if you need to have time to shop before closing, and the time remains in the edge, Mondeo is just suitable: 10.2 seconds to hundreds and the maximum speed of 210 km / h what is needed. The only note is: during lightning throws in the cabin, the engine is clearly listened. And if at first his sports sound is even flattered, then after a certain time it is bored. And in general, the acoustic background could be asleep.

But it is great for controlling the car, it is great, like all Mondeo, distinguished by the predictability of the driver's actions. Excellent suspension, steering with good informativeness, quite clear brakes. And all this in the practical body wagon. It is clear now than Ford Mondeo Station Wagon attracts the buyer.
