DRIVEN: Ford Mondeo 240PS 2.0L EcoBoost
Another Ford Mondeo? I can’t remember the last time I have driven the same car with three different engines outputs within such a short period of time. First it was the ‘original’ one with the 159bhp 2.3 litre Duratec motor in 2009; then last year it was the facelifted car that first received the 2.0 litre Ecoboost engine (good for 200bhp) and now this – still the same 2.0 Ecoboost lump but poked around to now dish out 238bhp at 6000rpm. I remember thinking that the Duratec-equipped car not quite having enough power, something which the first Ecoboost corrected. But such is power, you can never have enough. It clearly feels like the Mondeo have found its true heart. Changes to the exterior, meanwhile, is minimal and subtly improves on how this sedan looks. I’m still not the biggest fan regarding this, the rear portion of the car still looks awkward. Interestingly, every car makers seems to have their own interpretation on how to create a dynamic and motion-hinting shape...
