"Just OK cabin"? It's a great cabin, high quality and probably best in class, or very close to. I have no idea why you find it cramped, it has a cockpit style feel which is what many people want and many manufacturers have copied that as a result and it's a very comfortable car. Cannot comment further because I stopped watching at that point. I have always liked the Honest John website, one of my go-to motoring sites but I'm not so sure after this. Just a note on visibility, you can't change that without altering the style of the vehicle which is probably it's biggest selling point so I don't know why reviewers keep bringing it up. You can see that without ever going to view a car so if that's a really issue for you, you wouldn't be interested in buying it in the first place. Same with luggage space, 99% of us just need to carry a couple of suitcases once or twice a year. Nobody ever mentions the fact that you can stand the cases up vertically which you can't do in most hatches without removing the parcel shelf and leaving it behind. In the Evoque it will store upright against the back of the rear seats. For the rest of the time it's just carrying shopping or school kit. for anything larger that needs to be moved occasionally, that's why these cars have drop-down seats so please, reviewers, stop banging on about luggage space.

Everything except diesel justifying a bad rap. It still produces less C02 - which is why it was 'the future' right up until the Grift changed!

Fun fact, the Auris was called the Corolla everywhere except the UK.

I drove a 2016, it was one the most comfortable seat ever, everything else not so great/

What are you talking about mate? Mondeo is very well built and they drive exceptionally well I have a 2017 2.0 eco boost Titanium automatic fully loaded estate and is fantastic is very comfortable I drive to the continent every year is fast very low cabin noise and loads of space get off KZbin if you don’t know how to be a proper reviewer with all your untrue negative stupid reviews.

Best review so far. Bought one yesterday... only thing missing is Android auto/ carplay and speaker sound quality

Need to drop all the pointless musical cut in’s and jokes as it’s an unhelpful distraction from the facts!

We skipped it due to the bad rear view when backing. A rear view camera will not resolve it either as o e need a good side view too but that is blocked by the massive d-pillars. The angle of the a-pillars is also to low (and to thick!), it should be much more upright, like at the Volvo XC40.

Get to the point. 11.45min 11 min of rubish. This review.... Horrible. If you don't like it then don't drive it.

obnoxious prat crap review

Should have spared us and just got another tattoo my leadfoot driving 40 mpg +- 1.4BJ AllGrip Auto

Interesting perspective 😂 I previously owned the 2.0 diesel varient of this, remapped from 150 to 180bhp. Overall I liked it. I didn't have any gripes with the interior, although mine was the higher spec titanium model. Definitely seemed to be angled towards comfort rather than sportiness, which was fine by me. I since purchased a Mazda6 which seems to have the upper hand in terms of agility. 3rd and 4th gear accelation in the Mazda also feels brisker despite having 30 less bhp than the Ford (I guess it's because the Ford is a much heavier car.. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Mondeo... Personally I'd take either over an suv..

Lol… 😂 Great review though… watching this in 2024!!!

Lovely looking car, shed loads of tech but had one blow up on me, the mrs and the kids on the fast lane of the m25 at lets say 70. Car was only on 65,000 on a 17 plate and needed whole new engine. Very scary especially for the kids, with the panic in the air. So lovely car but 100% now deterred me from french cars ever again. Now got a kuga instead.

Anyone have any ignition starter issues after the car has been used on a short journey or similar? 2022 1 litre turbo N.

You are wrong about the iPhone but you are right about the Astra because I had one for 5 years keeps breaking down cheap s***

OK. We are in New Zealand and it's 2024. I've owned my '16 Ford Mondeo mk5 2.0l Titanium for 6 years, 80,000kms. This is the best car I have ever owned. Looking around, nothing else attracts me. Until now, I have always driven 6 cylinder 4.0l cars. The Mondeo 'ecoboost' does everything I ask.

Toyota CVT transmission is nothing like the explanation here. How many times in reviews the presenter says they are belt driven, do your homework before driving!

This guy is the most annoying car reviewer on KZbin

Mondeo 3 was the best of them.

Hey Mark your VW T - Cross is pathetic why do you degrade and have a negative review talk to the experts before your review they say this is the best small SUV segment compared to other makes?

She sounds so wining 😢

😂😂

Numpty wagon

Terrible. Nice review and good effort but the actual content unfortunately feels like some serious snobbery. Stick to high end cars.

Ohhhhhh

05 12 23, Are body panel tattoos available ? Prefer he overdone look.

I Love my 2020 Evoque! ,from Florida 😁

You shouldn't compare it with Volvo XC60 but with XC40 in my opinion.

Hi my friend, I'm planning to buy a 2015 B250 sports tourer, 111k kms. It will be my first car in Toronto but worried about maintenance cost. Can you share how much it cost yearly?

24,000 three years ago... Yeah, now add 10,000 and you're about there. :(

I miss you mate, best car reviews ever!

Do you think the Scala is big enough for use as a taxi?

I have the c5 aircross 1.6 petrol. A great car , love the ride, will sit at 60 -65 mph all day, gears smooth. Niggles, the Sat nav, nowt else.

My dreamed car ... thanks

In other words a very good car,Mark ! Always wondered what became of the original honest John who also did some great reviews.

Well I’m pleased some people find your reviews useful.

Bro, you either are a strong fan to other brand or you just don’t know what you are talking about! Ford in general is a very good car and economically humble compared to other brands! Do something else cos you suck at this!😒

great review! funny

did you have the base feel model? I just bought a 1.5 diesel 8 speed auto flare model and it drives really well, 2 hours on the motorways doing a hundred miles at 70 mph it sipped fuel very slowly and considering the heavy rain it gripped the road very well, I never had tatoos simply because i was warned off them by a surgeon as I have blood clotting issues. I also haver hernias that cant be operated on from lifting heavy snooker table slates in the 1980s. and I know a good comfortable car when I drive it, the C5 Aircross is a big bulky SUV with some interesting styling issues and many wont like the heater controls being on screen only but it is so simple and responsive to operate even when driving that any worries over saftey melt away there, the shat naff is very easy to use as well and most people wont need a manual to work it out ,the road speed signs displayed on the instrument binnacle are very handy to especially if your not quite sure what the limit is or sign posting has not be done well on the roadside. 800 newton mitres is very good especially in the mid power range for a 1.5 litre diesel, and no the engine is not loud at all its very quiet indeed. there is a little road noise from the large 18 inch alloy wheels and tyres but thats about it and mine is missing its rear parcel shelf. I owened a 24 year old citroen xantia with a 2 litre diesel engine and sound proofing has come a very long way since those days. I happy with it so far No aches or pains when getting out of the half nappa leather seats after a 2 hour journey, just a shame its not cool enough for the reviewer and in the flare model the drivers seat does go down to the floor almost this feature must have been missing in the reviewers model it also has lumbar support and a nice little touch where the head rests slide forward to meet the back of your head unlike in most cars where your head hardly ever meets the headrest.

Rear seat space let’s this, otherwise great car, down.

What about the puma st

Mondeo isn't that bad to be fair. CVT issue is common with all hybrids but one can learn to live with it. Comparing to PHEV is wrong as they are plugins(and you pay allot more).

I must have been driving some underpowered cars because when I drove the 2.0L one I was amazed lol😊

Fantastic review! Its really that much fun :-) Actually I finally bought it and did never regret. I like the fact that you see 10 caymans for each of those ;-)

It's summer 2022 and I just ordered a plug-in-hybrid here in Spain. Never was aware of the Evoque hype in previous years and drove German cars most of the time Will see if it is reliable and worth the high price tag. What I am sure about is that the design still stands out and the interior materials and equipment seem poshy. Thanks for the review.

I am currently half way through a rental of the saloon version of this car and it is by far, the worst car I’ve ever had the misfortune of driving. From a consumer perspective, I can summarise this car as follows: The drive train is absolutely appalling, no power, very noisy and forget accelerating uphill. It is far less efficient than your average diesel or modern petrol engine with none of the perks. It is enormous with less usable boot space than my 208 hatchback owing to most of the useful space taken up by the battery. It’s length combined with the turning circle of a boat, make it impossible to manoeuvre in confined spaces. It has a completely pointless ‘keyless start’ feature, so you could drive off with the keys on the roof, should you so desire, losing them for eternity and unable to restart your car once arrived at your destination. The pillars obscure oncoming traffic around corners. The touchscreen is so slow you’ll give up and use your phone for sat nav. If you do use the sat nav, that’s appalling as well. There’s not a single redeeming feature, I can’t wait to never see it again. I hate this car so much, I’ve left a comment on KZbin, which is about my fifth comment in 10 years.

I prefer the rear shape of the 2011-2018 - the new one looks like it's bending over to pick something up of the lower Waitrose shelf, to use your analogy.
