Ford Mondeo 3rd generation. Ford Mondeo III - model description

Best car to accommodate all the "family values" is undeniably a station wagon. And among the cars of different brands I want to highlight Ford Mondeo station wagon 2005 release. This is the third generation of the Mondeo, produced from 2000 to 2007, but in 2005 a restyling was carried out, thanks to which the fat model deserves much more attention.

Mondeo-3 was so "stuffed" with all sorts of "chips" that it has not lost its relevance in our time. Including, thanks to its kinetic design. In those years, Ford specialists decided to give more "sportiness" model range Mondeo and, of course, these changes could not but affect the station wagon.

Ford Mondeo 2005 has everything you need to rightfully carry the prefix "sport". These are eighteen-inch wheels, and swift body lines with a roof spoiler. All these features add dynamics. In the cabin, too, there is a "sporty" trend. The driver's seat has good lateral support. Aluminum-look inserts and red instrument panel illumination also create additional drive.

Mondeo Wagon immediately starts with the Trend option. The salon is spacious enough. The plastic and upholstery materials are very high quality. The steering wheel with on-board computer control functions and a stereo system has angle and reach adjustments. The “music” supplied in the basic version pleases with its quality and allows you to listen to recordings in MP3 format. The number of various pockets and glove compartments allows you to conveniently place all the necessary little things. Heated seats, washer nozzles, mirrors and, of course, branded heating windshield can also be attributed to important details. But, of course, the main advantage of the station wagon is its roomy trunk. The volume of 490 liters allows you to load even very large suitcases, while not risking scratching the rear bumper. To do this, it is enough to put forward a special loading platform and your luggage will go into the trunk as if on rails. Well, if the cargo is very bulky, the size of the trunk can be increased by folding the rear row of seats.

The Ford Mondeo 3 engine can be either diesel or gasoline. The volume starts from two liters, and diesel engine does not concede in acceptance to gasoline. 2 liter diesel 140 Horse power in tandem with an automatic (if you wish, you can choose "mechanics") gearbox perfectly responds to pressing the gas pedal at almost any speed. The behavior of the car in corners is very decent thanks to a fairly stiff suspension.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that the Mondeo-3 is a good car, especially in combination with price and quality. Of course, the 2005 model is a bit old, but the Ford Mondeo of subsequent years may be a completely logical purchase. At the same time, the price of the Ford Mondeo 2006 is significantly lower than that of the Ford Mondeo 2007, which launched the fourth generation of this brand, which is still in production.
