I think you misquoted me in what I was refering to. I was taking about performance/hot hatch image type of cars in this post in response to a previous one. I wasn't talking about the LX end of the range.DreXeL said:No, they weren't.
Either everyone is mis-informed, or they have very short memories. The Mondeo was highly praised for it's handling at the time, it was a class leader. It was ahead of it's rivals by quite a margin.
You only have to look at the motoring press of the time.
A while back I owned 1996 Mondeo LX. Yes, virtually poverty spec, but it was still a pretty decent car, and miles ahead of the Vectras I test drove at the time. The Mondeo's handling was so much better than the Vectra it's not even funny.
