How do you rate the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI 163PS compared with the 2.0 TDCI 140PS version as regards reliability, value for money, known problems, maintenance, DPF reliability, etc.?
In the real world it's not really that much quicker. In fact I found that even a 115PS 2.0TDCI EcoBoost was fine (it felt like it had a lot more than 115PS.) Tests at www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/ and more details plus feedback of problems at www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
