grimreaper Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 is the mondeo st24 the same as the st200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 No, the ST24 has approx 170 bhp, ST200 derives it's name from the fact it has 200bhp. The ST200 is slightly newer and therefore has a few tweeks in the looks dept. Both have V6 Duratec engines AFAIK. Far more ST24's on the road than ST200'S due to much longer production run.

Daston Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 wasnt it the ST220 or is that something different all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 st200' are very nice cars We bought a 4-year old example but when we got it home, I found the rear boot full of water and the rear leather seats were soaked through. The problem with all ST200's (and Mondeo's generally from what I've heard), is that the rubber seals that surround the rear light clusters perish real easy. Ours did after only 4 years so it leaked like a house with no roof. It took 10-days to get everything dry and then I flogged it for a £500 profit:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 st220 is the new current shape mondeo variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I drove a st200 and although it had a nice engine tone it didnt feel all that quick, not comparing this to a supra , in fact my daily driver is a Vectra sri, and although quicker than the vectra not as good as I was expecting it to be. I droce a BMW 330 ci on the same day , I know its unfair to compare the two due to price and engine sound, but the beemer was in a different leauge , power braking style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Isn't the st24 4wd and the st220 front wheel drive? I drove a st220 and it didn't feel very quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I had an ST24 and in the year I owned it NOTHING went wrong at all, it is comfortable, smooth and quite quick for a big car, i liked it very much, they are very cheap now as well, so a FFSH would get you a great car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Have a look here: http://www.fordmondeoownersclub.co.uk/ Insurance isn't the cheapest, the earlier models did leak through the rear light clusters. Loads of abused ST24's around so buy with caution, sevice history is recommended. I've had two V6 Mondeo's, an M Reg and a V reg, both great cars but the V Reg was much improved, I'd go for a later model, well worth the bit extra IMHO.
