FORD MONDEO 1.8LX verses 2.0l - JANE TAYLOR
We are in the process of replacing our car and need one fast. We are considering the Ford Mondeo Estate but want to know which is the better out of the 1.8LX and the 2L.
We have the choice of 2 1.8LX both on an X plate, mileage is 11k for one and 8k for the other and they are both priced at £9,800.
Then we have the choice of a 2.0 on an X plate with 13,600 miles for £9,500.

We have become used to our present estate which is a Volvo V70. Will these Mondeos compare favourably?







Which is the better of the following 2 cars :
Ford Mondeo 1.8LX Estate & 2.0 Estate?
WE are replacing a Volvo V70....do they compare?

THE 2.0 IS JUST A BIT MORE RELAXED, A BIT MORE POWERFUL AND, SURPRISINGLY, A BIT MORE ECONOMICAL IF YOU DRIVE LIKE I DO,

I've no experience of the 1.8, but I drove a Mondeo 2.0i S recently (X reg - not the brand new VW Passat like model but the model from 1996 onwards) and it had the Zetec 2.0 engine. I was really impressed with the car.
