Ford Mondeo 1.8-litre Zetec saloon (2000-2007)

Ford Mondeo 1.8-litre Zetec saloon (2000-2007)

Ones to avoid

DRIVE a Mondeo Zetec with the 1.8-litre petrol engine, and you will
pay £90 more in road tax under the new system. There are more cost-
effective options in the Ford family car line-up, though. Take the
115bhp 2.0-litre TDCi diesel, for example – it puts out 148g/km, and so attracts
a much more reasonable
£120 annual road tax bill.

CO2 emissions: 182g/km
2008 band/cost: E/£170
2009 band/cost: J/£260
