| | Ford Mondeo (short test) |
 | | Ford has built more than 2.5 million Mondeos since the car was launched in 1993, and it has always had its critics for not providing enough rear passenger space. |
 | | But even with the barrage of computer-aided design, engineering and manufacturing, which greatly reduced the time from the original approval of the appearance to what the company calls Job One, the all-new styling remains a fine job of work from the team headed by Ford of Europe's director of design, Chris Bird. |
 | | The other petrol engine is the familiar 166bhp 2.5-litre V6, modified to the extent of having a revised air intake system, lightweight chain drive for the camshafts, and various other features intended to cut noise and vibration. |
