Crazy how fast times changed. When this generation launched, I would have never imagined this to be their last ever large saloon and estate

I've got the 2.0 diesel. Excellent on motorways, plenty fast enough, very happy with it

You can always rely on Ford to give you a great all round car. They're stylish, economical, reliable, fast and all at an acceptable price. Ford have cracked it with the looms as well due to the Aston Martin style front. Well done Ford 👏👏

Finally Matt told us his height in centimeters. 179 cm. I never got his height when he used feet, haha!

I love the Ford Mondeo it's a sporty and handsomely beautiful car!!! Ford is one of my favourite worldwide manufacturers

Matt you would fit perfect in a new line of Top Gear presenters when these three will retire! Also, I really like the new Mondeo!

It is a delight seeing you review anything MATT

Almost forgot what a fantastic presenter Matt is. If they ever refurbish Top Gear with new presenters, Matt simply HAS to be the new Hammond.

Ford is a US manufacturer with a certain reputation. Europeans buy mostly marketing names called Fiesta, Focus, Mondeo and Transit. The reputation is based on two major factors; depreciation and reliability the first being more commanding. All in all, nice everyday vehicles, especially diesel models.

OMG MAT IS BACK!!!!!!

So good to see Mats back 😊😊

Nice to have Matt back! Good job!

Mat is the best car reviewer. Watched loads of his vids. Top man.

I love when car reviewers start complaining about cars for being to comfortable 4:17 , my average speed in London is 17 MPH , screw sport suspension as it is much more fragile when dealing pot holes and speed bumps and it makes cars ride terrible at city speeds

Finally hes back for a full review.

He is back!!

Matt is a way better reviewer than the other lady, I don't remember her name.

Love your reviews, Matt. Humorous yet informative. I'm a fan. :-)

As a North American 2014 Fusion owner, I'm getting extremely angered here! The last review I watched was a Mondeo station wagon with a stick shift and a diesel engine. This review is a hatch back with glass roof and diesel engine. NONE of these are available in North America! We don't even get that little cargo net in the glovebox to hold the manual! I would kill for a station wagon with a diesel! Also, how cool are those LED DRL switchback sequential turn signals!?!? Again, nothing like that here in North America! We don't even get rear fog lights!

This is the only review of the Mondeo / Fusion I'v seen with this kind of negative undertone. Every other review is very positive about the mondeo. And I'v even seen some test drivers that thinks the mondeo is class leading. I would like to see carbuyer test the estate to.

Welcome Back

Drove the car week ago! It was great fun! and the motor is just awesome =) I like it (And the looks are just 5/5)

matt please review the mondeo vignale. you guys do the best reviews out there. keep it up!!!

I love that front turn signal. I wish the American Ford Fusion had that.

We just brought our titanium x 2015 best car in the world. Worth the money.!

Love it. I want to get one - in this colour, in the Titanium trim, with the panoramic roof. In other words, exactly as kitted out in this video. Except I'd go for the 2.0 Ecoboost rather than the Diesel.

Thank god your back.

lol first time I've laughed at a car review - that brumie voice control was funny

Thanks for using the metric system!

front- amazing, the sides of it - really good looking. Fix the rear the it's a beautiful beautiful car! I'd go for this one over Passat for sure

Excellent review.

So basically, I hope Ford EU learned the lesson and next time won't allow Ford USA to interfere with the development of European models.

This is a very nice car. The perfect balance between modern and smart design!

Excellent review

Great great review!

I see Matt saw the light and got the excellent HTC One M8 :).

2:37 the carwow stick of truth falls out of the exhaust? 🤣

simply beautiful

Yay mines on its way can't wait 😃😃

Matt, you have missed call on your phone. Carwow was looking for you :)

I have one of these and I love it

I forgot how good Matt was at making car reviews!

I dont hate the other girl but she needs to watch this review and learn how make her own reviews more interesting.

I really like how this car looks

Great car review of ford mondeo. Thumbs up

It's really refreshing to see Matt using an HTC rather than an iPhone...

I'd definitely go for the Zetec 2.0L TDCI Model.. Don't waste your money on anything else These car's are great second hand buys if you get a well cared for one with low mileage.

I drove this and the new Passat back-to-back a little while ago, and i enjoyed the Ford a lot more. Driving the VW felt as fun as drowning in wallpaper paste. My biggest annoyance with the Ford is the suspension setup, and lack of a manual gearbox with a powerful engine (you can only get the 2-litre Ecoboosts with a automatic). What the Mondeo needs is a Sport, or a new ST model, and a suspension setup like the previous model had and their lovely 6-speed box. And Autocar said the Mondeo is the new class leader when they compared it against the Passat, 3-series, A4, Insignia and V60.

I have to say, the new Mondeo, Passat and 6 look stunning. Almost makes you wonder whether you should bother spending the extra few grand for a similarly spec'd 3, A4 or C class. Sure, they're probably not as well built nor have the same badge value, but these family saloons have really come a long way in terms of design, premium appeal and tech.

The screen is a brilliant place to mount your phone. Heh!

Love this car, nice, sharp design, better than the new Focus at least.

"Material quality has been improved". That's maybe what Ford want us to believe, but I'm surprised to hear the reviewer saying it. I sat in the new Mondeo and couldn't help but think the interior looked actually cheaper than it used to. The materials covering the dash and the doors may be soft to the touch (which they already were in the previous car), but they are less robust, more brittle than before. In fact, you now get higher-quality plastic in a Focus!

Matt will you be reviewing the estate version soon?

I dont know what you are talking about, i own this car and it has everything i need for the money, i have the 1.5 diesel ztec mondeo estate, it has BUILT IN SATNAV AS STANDARD so i dont know why you think it doesnt, voice command, cruise control, electric handbreak, powerfold mirrors, front and rear heated windscreens but then its a ford which is the ONLY company that has the front heated windscreen and even though its the zetec you cant hear a thing and it ia the most confortable car i have ever owned and possibly the best value for money, 10xs better that the mazda or the passat

Pretty cool, I wish they had something like this in the U.S.

Wish we got a hatchback version in the us or a wagon/estate as well.

I'm a little confused by the 'Passat is more practical' comment around the 5.27 mark. Surely a hatchback would be classed as being more practical than a similarly-sized 3 box saloon? To me, the Mondeo's main problem is its sheer size, it's too wide for town driving and it's dull to look at, no wonder the 3 series easily outsells it. Anyway, nice to see Mat back reviewing, although I do like Ginny's earnest style too.

This looks so much better than the US model, and I love that it comes as a hatch. I don't get why he says it doesn't feel fun, my dad has a 2013 one, and it has super quick steering and very good handling. I think it's pretty fun to drive.

I wish US had a Diesel choice in Fusion.

in written review under the pluses it says it has "spacious cabin" but in this video one can see the cabin is not spacious at all in the back

To me, the new Mondeo looks very similar to the old model, mostly from the rear :)

I have this without the Panoramic roof and theres no issue with headroom

Gorgeous.

I'm glad he mentione that Aston Martin style nose, thought I was the only one who noticed that

this car looks really good! but i would choose the estate.

Good review, but how can you say the VW Passat is more practical when it's a saloon? 🤔

Matt Watson has only improved as a presenter over time. He was great back then, better now

Oh no! The Mondeo is no longer the best to drive in its class! I never thought I'm going to hear that from Carbuyer :D

HTC One M8. Good choice matt ;)

Very, very beautiful car!

will you be doing a review on the mondeo vignale

I wanted to watch this video but on the 0:27 I stopped 😂

3:55 dynamic indicators?

I think this is what perfectly people want Its not too stiffly sprung like the Mazda 6 has quieter cabin than the 6 as well Its not too soft and boring like the Passat either, I think the Mondeo strikes the balance between Passat and Mazda 6

If in the UK we buy fuel in litres but all info is given in miles per gallon?

I love it's look sooooo much

Calling owners of the Mk 5 Mondeo: is the handling really less sharp than previous models? It almost seems to be written in the press handout(!), but how does it really drive after a few weeks getting used to it? Or has Ford really broken it?

Looking at one of these in Ireland a zetec model but it doesn't have the touchscreen radio which is odd. Everything else seems to be the same

Respect for HTC One M8, Matt

I live in America and i wish the fusion was a hatchback here. Too bad they are getting rid of it, but the good news is they might re release it as a wagon 🤔

Weird question.. What jacket is matt wearing? It looks nice :P

That Brummie accent was more scouse toward the end! :')

Better off getting a Mazda6, huh? Interesting. When America finally gets the Mondeo version of the Ford Fusion, it turns out maybe we were better off with the Mazda6 version of the Ford Fusion? At any rate... sharp car, but I think we'll be keeping my wife's V6 manual Mazda6 for a while longer. It's getting harder to find either in a mid-sized FWD sedan these days, let alone both combined.

Love this car! Hope it comes to South Africa. I know we are getting the Ford Fusion from the States, which has the same face. But very expensive.

Is this the car that will replace the Falcon in Australia, or will there be something a little larger. Looks neat though.

1:30 Lol thats awesome! :D

I, well my wife, owns a 2016 2.0 ecoboost. Brilliant car, fast, tech advanced and safe.

wow htc one m8 nice

I want one. Now they’re going for 6-12k 😁 actually checked one out yesterday it was the same colour as this but then it came from BCA originally and it had some niggles. I gotta wait a bit I guess

Noting personal to Ginny but after Rebecca left carbuyer's team I watch mostly if not only Mat's reviews...

In the built in sat nav in the top it says navigator

Can you test the new peugeot 508?

It's good, but I preferred the old one. Especially the five-cylinder turbo. I'd rather have a Mazda6 now, sorry.

When are you going to review the new Passat?

Not sure why the fascination with the lip between folded seats and boot. In my experience it helps stop things sliding and if I need to open the door to lift something over lip then damn it I will walk those three feet around the side.

That was a surprise when Matt pointed out that despite the car's large size that headroom in back isn't so good. Who would have thought?

Usb ports are sooooo luxury, normally only found on prestige cars 😂

Matt's reviews are very entertaining, streets ahead of Ginny's. Rebecca's were boring too, just didn't notice as much because she was fit.

If Ford did away with that big glass roof then I think it would have increased the height of the roof lining for rear passengers. A brief review of the 1.0 ecoboost engine would have been good here.

No, I won't be wanting a diesel! Give me the 2.0 Ecoboost any day!
