Ford Mondeo Titanium Plus Special Edition

When looking for a practical, executive feeling car for the family or business, you may not consider a Ford.  However, the Ford Mondeo Titanium Plus Special Edition is capable of representing both needs.  The 1.8 TDCI model is economic as well as being cheaper on road tax than its petrol sisters.

With its heavy feel, the Mondeo Titanium sticks to the road with ease offering handling experience that is next to none.  The 1.8 TDCI special edition Titanium plus struggles slightly from a standing start whilst it pulls the great lump to a steady speed, although with the right clutch control, practice and a touch of patience you can get the car to be very responsive.  Especially impressive when cruising the motorway and taking advantage the responsive acceleration when overtaking. 


The size of the Mondeo Titanium alters your perception of speed so watching the speedo is necessary, although by setting the cruise control, the chances of getting a ticket for speeding is reduced dramatically.  Furthermore, Ford has introduced an array of gadgets designed to keep the occupants and other road users, safe.  The monitors your driving behaviour, beeping at you if it feels you have lost your attention; steering wheel vibrates when the car feels it may be drifting across lanes; and then there is my personal favourite, the image that appears in the wing mirror if there is something in your blind spot.  Perfect.

Steering wheel controls allow you to adjust the stereo from the main instrument menu, in addition to being able to read ‘fault’ information instead of just seeing an engine management light appear.  Always useful.  The model also comes with Front and Rear parking sensors to aid parking in those tight spaces.



The spacious interior can handle 5 large adults, the boot has enough room for a month’s shopping and a buggy and the rear Privacy glass adds protection for personal belongings.  This car has the luxury feel whilst also being a nice practical family car.

In the light of the above, it is fair to say the Mondeo Titanium Plus Special Edition is strong, solid and comfortable drive.  I am un-easy with the amount of technological gadgets, as it seems they are just waiting to go wrong, however, a highly recommended drive. 

If you are looking to purchase or lease this vehicle for a new job or need one to replace an old car for a long period contemplate 28 day hire or long term car rental.  Have a look at the Rental versus Lease post before subjecting yourself to long term commitments.

Enjoy the drive.
