Congratulations on your new vehicle.In my opinion The Ford Mondeo

130 bhp is one of the best secrets in the Motoring industry.There are many reasons for this 1) reasonable to insure 2) spare parts and servicing very reasonable 3) very good fuel consumption 48 mpg solo 38 ish towing 4) superb to drive and very comfortable to be a passenger in. 5) good towing allowance 1800 kgs braked towing. All in All this car should tow your caravan fully laden with relative ease.people go for off roaders and high prestige marks and my opinion is they earn the money so no one should try to tell them how to spend it.However,in doing this they are overlooking a top notch vehicle in the Ford Mondeo 130bhp TDCI.So go drive and enjoy.

Hi michael,I have a mondeo 130bhp and a bailey burgundy 1400kg and tow all around west coast of scotland and it tows brilliantly.The power and acceleration is great and mpg is very good.My friends and relatives also chose the mondeo and are equally chuffed.Hope you enjoy.

mark

you get the gold star.

the only one to post, correctly stating the power as HP, not BHP.

The 130 mondeo is 130ps.

sorry it just annoys me to see so many posts claiming BHP, power outputs.

Hi all i have been reading your comments with interest.Would you put the Mondeo in the same league as the Vauxhall Omega as far as towing ability goes
