Coffee & Cars @ The Motorist | Ford Mondeo MK1 and MK2 GhiaX Review Comparison | 

Like the mondoes 2 nice examples Good content fella thanks

Bit more of a back story of my old MK1 - 2003 was when it was laid up in Craig's garage. He bought it in 1996 from an auction after it came off Northstar Energy fleet. I think it was on 89,000 miles already by then, though he had to put a new engine in around 2000, used to take it over with him to Germany, engine went pop after a blast on the Autobahn. Think he said he'd got 130 out of it - no wonder it went bang! Front discs on it had a really weird flat spot on it, almost as if it was sat on the ground on it's brake disc. (The plates aren't original, but we'll not say much about that - I had them reproduced... neither is the dealer sticker!) The MK1s original exhaust had two silencers - one was mounted on the left, then it went over almost at 90° and went through another silencer, and the tailpipe on the right. It was rotting out when I sold it, I think it was replaced.

By the nature of my filming style I simply don't get around every car and with this event being so dread out I sadly missed out some great cars, like those two Mercedes you were looking at. The C6 is a you say timeless, a stunning piece of design. Didn't get chance to speak with Chris but I did see Joseph taking his Mondeo out. I always liked the styling if the MK1 Mondeo which looked so fresh as the time both inside and out. Never knew about the fan speed setting not having an off position. The facelift cars I didn't take to the styling as readily. Nice to see a Ghia X though and knowing what Chris's cars are like it will no doubt be am.exveptiinal example of an Unexceptional car. As it happens I took Joseph's Rover 45 V6 out for review last night so that will be coming to my channel soon.

Nice selection, waiting for the Volvo update.

Love the mondeos had 3 mk2 yrs bk all saloons 1.8 and 1.6 petrols and a horrible 1.8td now I'm looking to buy another 😢

Good to see Chris’s latest fleet…love the Mondeo Ghia ✅👍 Looking forward to an update on the V90 to see what’s been done and how you rate the geartronic box which I’ve read can have issues. So interested in your view Dan.

Great video, thanks for the shout out on my C6, nice to see it on a video! Love the Mondeos, but then I did used to own the red one, such a comfortable car.

Good cars good engines mk1 a bit heavy on tyres

Enjoyed that thanks very nice Mondeos

Nice selection of cars Dan.

Good video, as for the plastic going yellow yes you can take them out, I did mine and cleaned them .. Also In 1994 I worked at a Ford franchise . I have a Mk1 Ghia needing a tidy up on a P plate..

Great video. It's quite a coincidence because I've owned both identical models of each of these Mondeo's. My GLX hatchback had the same wheel covers and was a 'K' reg 2.0 litre. I loved the velour seats which were so comfortable. I also had the Mk2 GhiaX 2.0litre automatic 4dr saloon which looked very stylish with those big rear lights and leather interior. I must say I still miss them. The Mk1 was my personal favourite even though it was a little more basic. Thank you for uploading this enjoyable video.

There are also differences between the early MK2s and later MK2s. The obvious one is the Zetec blacktop from 98. Another example is the rear door name plate which was changed from plastic to glass in 98 I believe, something I noticed when replacing a broken glass one with a plastic one I found.

As usual Dan. You tell it as it is. ✔✔✔✔

Thanks 🙏 Great video Shout out from Australia 🇦🇺

The rear vents on the rear doors of the mk1 were replaced by hidden vents behind the rear bumper in the mk2

Great video as always. Enjoyed the Mondeo comparison I had an early 1.8 TD so brought back happy memories. That Ghia X is a stunner and yes fully approve of the wheels and stance it just looks right..

Used to be safety feature to have exhaust & fuel fill on opposite sides incase of fuel overflowing on to hot exhaust a fire risk,

The mk1 2.0 was undergeared. It had an activated carbon pollen filter, it needed the fan running to pull air through it. That autobox is absolute junk.

The Corsa belongs to my partner, based in Northumberland, we went down in it as her mustang has a hole in the petrol tank, lol. Thanks for putting it on video

What country is he from? I’m trying to figure out the accent.
