In such a competitive segment, the Mondeo went head-to-head with giants like the Volkswagen Passat, the Peugeot 406, the Renault Laguna, and the Opel Vectra. Against them, the Ford stood out for offering one of the best driving experiences, a near-perfect balance between comfort and dynamism that made it the benchmark for many drivers.
