How good is the Ford Mondeo’s oil burner?
My tester holstered Ford’s 2.0-liter, 140hp diesel. The oil burner is an extremely refined unit, significantly smoother than the highly respected Volkswagen TDI. On paper, the diesel Mondeo’s 10.6 second zero to sixty sprint time seems, as the French are wont to say, insupportable.
Which Ford Mondeo diesel is best for You?
The 2011-on 1.6-litre is much better, as long as you’re not in too much of a hurry, but it’s the 2.0-litre diesel that’s most suited to the Mondeo, with good performance delivered in a smooth and quiet manner. The 2.2-litre diesel doesn’t offer much extra in the way of performance, so it’s not worth paying a premium for.
