In the car-by-car breakdown HJ adds RECOMMENDED in relation to the Mondeo and the V70. HJ then goes on to list a raft of faults and problems for each car.

In view of these faults I can\'t see why these cars are recommended over (say) a Jap equivalent.

Is it that the qualities of each of these cars outweighs their faults? Or are the faults in reality limited to a small number of cars, with general reliability being pretty good?

Due to experiences in my Dad\'s old Renaults and Citroens as a kid, I have a phobia about unreliable cars. His Renault 16 used to overheat on every long trip.

The number of faults to number of cars sold is relatively small but because I try to report every fault that crops up so buyers can check the cars out for them the list looks disproportionate. That said, best to avoid 2000MY last of old shape Mondeos which did suddenly spring a number of faults, including springs.
