any good. have always fancied one and seen one locally. anyone had any experiences with them?

[dbug]

Never owned one but drove one once - "sh1t off a shovel" performance

[2boxerdogs]

Colleague at work had one, terrific performance & very comfortable, he sold it because the front carpets always got wet when it rained, tried new seals on doors etc. Could not cure this problem have heard of others with same problem (all types of Mondeo ) so check footwells for this.

Earlier Mondeos had issues with the pollen filter housing leaking water into the car but thought they had cracked that problem with the later ones.

Lovely car,nice spec and wrong wheel drive for anything over 200BHP!!!! 

[Del Boy]

Nice cars, drive well, go well, good seats, I like them  .

[TheBoy]

Go well, ride is quite harsh. Don't bury your foot in the carpet coming out of a corner until straight, esp in the wet

I tried to race one off a roundabout onto a dual garrigeway in Milton Keynes when I had my 3.2 Elite - It went past me like I was standing still   very quick car.

when its running listen for a ticking sound from back of engine, known as the tick of death on them and sign head gasket on way out,this also shows with oil seapage from same area, also from cold you may hear the cam chain rattling as tensioner seal goes and looses preasure overnight, i had the st24 estate  which is same engine just 175bhp and that would do 140 without blinking   hth

The biggest issue I have seen with 10+ year old Fords is how much they just fall apart so check them very closely.

i got rid of mine as corrosion hit it so hard and so fast, wheel arches end of sills etc

the st220 is the mark 3 with the 3.0 v6 not the 2.5 like the st200 st24

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

One of the best handling FWD cars ever, reputedly. But still FWD. I would, and have been, very tempted as a second car though.

I thought the ST24 was a 2.5 and the ST220 a 3.0
