suspension on mk3 mondeo

[jsp56]

Hi,

I just test drove a Mk3 Mondeo with 17" wheels, and it was great but the suspension was a bit hard for me, similar to the current Ford Focus Titanium on 17" wheels.

It didn't seem to be a sport model or anything.

Would you say that would be usual or should I be trying to test drive other examples of the same car to see if they are softer? I thought it would be softer as my Mk2 Mondeo is, and because it is a wider car.

Thanks!

Thanks! Does that mean that the Titanium will have harder suspension than the Ghia if it is the sportier version?

Also did you have to change the wheels on your car to get the 16" ones and to have a comfier ride? Is that easy to do?

Thanks!

I see what you mean. This page says the titanium has sportier suspension.

Gosh that's interesting to know. Have I got my Mk3s and Mk4s mixed up? I'm talking about the 2007-2014 edition of the Mondeo. I currently drive a 2006 one, but I'm test driving 2013-ish models and that's what I'm interested to know about. Thanks!

Thanks. :-) It will help to be getting the terminology right. :-)
