2:52 'if you want an estate car that's fun you probably wanna look at the mazda 6 tourer' On the mazda6 review: What's it like to drive? 'The Mazda 6 is good to drive but you’ll ultimately have more fun in a Ford Mondeo.'
Sitting in the back I bet he didn’t have the ignition on which would of moved the seat forward by another 5-6 inches as that spec has memory seats and drivers seat moves back when turned off for ease of getting in and out all stuff that wasn’t covered
Great review, and it's nice to see you back, Mat! I haven't driven the new Mondeo but I like it. I think it looks cool with the Titanium-pack. A smooth back but with a more aggressive front, well proportioned and the black leather seats looked sort of "expensive". I have an idea for Carbuyer: what if, at the end of every review, the reviewer rates the car from 0-10? I think that would be an interesting way of measuring and also a bit competitive among the cars.
This car is fabulous, I don't want a boring passat with a slighter bigger boot, this ford has the ability to waft along like a bentley, and loads of toys, and for the money, nothing touches it.
the description below the video basically tells you what the video is going to say 😂 BTW, it actually has tethering hooks in the boot. I also think mat was STILL in a bad mood when making this review like the normal review which is annoying since he normally is excellent. fyi the Mondeo is great fun to drive actually
+wo0feR Interesting. The same 2.3l engine is used in the Vignale, but with 50 less hp, and journalists in my country said it consumed 12-13 liters around town.
+wo0feR It's more like 8-10l/100km outside the city (8l on secondary roads, 10l on the highway) and around 12-13l in the city. On average it's more like 10-11l than 8-10l. Still not very bad but nothing fancy
To know who is reviewing the car you just have to look at the dislikes. I don't understand the hate for James. I Think he's decent even though Matt is a bit better. If James was the standard Reviewer and one day Matt came along everybody would probably hate on Matt.
Clicking the video link fingers crossed hoping it would be Mat... Was not disappointed! I mean the other reviewers are really good as well, but there's just that something with the way Mat Watson does his job. Would say he's kinda Carbyer's own Jeremy Clarkson. It's his wit combined with the right amount of humour and knowledge. But don't get me wrong... :D
Matty maaaaatt is baaaack!!!! lol. About the seat adjustments..you should show us. In a citroen c5 exclusive you get the best seats in my opinion just because you can adjust even the higher half of a backrest. Seen this comfort seats only in bmws 5 and more series (wich are even better) or very rare audis a6 and rare lexuses, some range rovers also. And a renault velsatis has it. Anyway, I really like this feature!! All car makers should have this as option in bigger their bigger models.
This estate is very practical and wouldn’t ever pick a Passat over it at all. Had trouble free pleasurable refined motoring for last 4.5 years with Titanium X estate 180bhp 2 litre diesel with road tax at £30 year as so clean 👍 - unlike the mass fitted cheat devices across Vw Audi range that are up to 400% above legal max emissions! 👎
No, Matt, you are wrong! It wasn't the BMW who answered the question. It was the german support who had a little bit of an indian accent ... I guess that's just one of the world's wonders.
When u buy a car u definitely also go for the look and style! VW, Opel, Mazda etc they are not even close to the stylish look of this Mondeo! Just look at the front side of this car!i bought this car and every time I step out the car and go away then I have to turnaround to check the stylish look of the car! And the downsides what u are talking abt are for 90% of ppl not relevant!
Before I RETIRED I drove all new skoda's and yes and maney other new cars. But thay are etoreuse for engine management lights come on and engines going in to limp mode.especaly the 2 litre diesels . And I'm only taking about 2017/2020 models.
The mondeo is most comfortable car i have driven in this segment. I have a superb which is a very good car but no where near as comfortable as the mondeo.
Why do you always take a 2.0 liter diesel engines for your test? Don't you, know English people, that petrol engines also exist? Mondeo has 2 of them: 1.5l 150 hp and 2.0l 240 hp, both turbo.
Imho Mondeo is good for family trips in Europe. If you travel kind of US way (loooong daily trips 800-1200 km) Passat will not be any better. Only VW Multivan.
Gorgeous looking practical vehicle. Much more sensible than the overpriced German chit. "I've got to travel all the way around here" - maybe take a packed lunch in case you get hungry on the return journey?
Did you ever asked yourselves where does the rear knee room comes from in Superb? Sit in the front passenger seat and try to comfortably stretch your right leg. You'll find there's no room for leg! You have to keep it to the right in unnatural position. In a car of that size... Just poor...and NO REVIEWER ever foud that as a letdown. Strange.
Try towing a caravan or a small horse box with a skoda whitch iv have then say it's a no brainer.The skoda better. Even thought the skoda is a nice car.
2:52 'if you want an estate car that's fun you probably wanna look at the mazda 6 tourer'
On the mazda6 review:
What's it like to drive?
'The Mazda 6 is good to drive but you’ll ultimately have more fun in a Ford Mondeo.'
I think with the mazda review, they were talking about the previous gen mondeo, which was fun to drive, but this mondeo is not fun to drive
not enough space? wtf? who needs more than that?!!!!!
I think he needs a very large van to lung his things around. This car is adequate for a family.
so nice to see Matt again, not that i hate the new member of carbuyer, but Matt is simply the funniest, best presenter on this show
Matt is back yeah
+Vilius VK this is pre-recorded, he is still gone :(
nnnnnnnnnnnnnooooo
+aabidam Oh shit... He is just bloody awful.
+Monkeybox Gaming YEA we have a Mondeo estate with a much better boot
Sitting in the back I bet he didn’t have the ignition on which would of moved the seat forward by another 5-6 inches as that spec has memory seats and drivers seat moves back when turned off for ease of getting in and out all stuff that wasn’t covered
Yay Matt is here

YES MATT YOU WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING YOU HAVE SAVED THIS CHANNEL AND THE VIEWERS IM SO HAPPY
Perfect car.
Dream car.
Exactly
I have a 2.0 Tdci, 150cp from 2016, it’s a dream car indeed
thank goodness this guy is back, was thinking about leaving
Welcome back Matt
Welcome back Matt!!
Anyone else notice the wonky D in "MONDEO" at 1:11?
Sean Briggs I guess it's meant to be like that
I like both mondeo & Passat estate but when it comes to money well spent I think the mondeo wins.
Well for me better is the Skoda Superb Combi, bigger cabin, and cheaper to buy and run
Same and i like the mazda6 tourer
Oh my god, I wish we got this version in America that is gorgeous
Yes!!! Matt is back.
@MattWatson do you even know that the rear seats seating bench goes up and thanyou fold it...
Hired one (hatchback) for 3 weeks on a recent trip to Britain. 65% highway, 35% urban produced 51 mpg. Ordinary car but good economy.
Yes matt is back!
This car is fabulous, I don't want a boring passat with a slighter bigger boot, this ford has the ability to waft along like a bentley, and loads of toys, and for the money, nothing touches it.
Totaly agree with you as iv owned a mk3 two mk4 and NOW A MK5 TATANUM X BUSINESS. 👍
I have a 14 titanium business estate and that has a scuff plate in the rear to protect bumper
Oh thank God Matt is back!
Yay Matt is back !!!
thank god MATT is back
I really wish they made the mondeo/fusion wagon in the US. So much nicer than the Edge.
been subscribed since 2000 subs

Oh Matt is back
mondeo sport,awd with a 2.7l and 340hp is on arrival!
+Bat MikiPig Sounds great.
with fwd? *awd*
+Ayrton Atif awd!
Felipe Queirolo cheers bro i was up for more than 20hrs.
Pointless if it's still not fun to drive.
man if I had the resources to get some imported to the states, that'd be really cool.
It's just that the Mazda 6 cars always seem to have some sort of engine fault or more than what's considered normal oil leaks
I wish the sold these in the USA... I am a wagon enthusiast and have the American version of this, the Fusion, same color and trim!
hey mat is back
Welcome back Mat!
So they fired that annoying guy.
maat!!! finally hes back for gods sake!!
Matt please redo the review of the new Mustang but this time choose the EcoBoost. I've heard the engine is better than the V6 and returns 8-10L/100km
+wo0feR Great idea, I hope he will review it.
👍👍👍
+wo0feR Interesting. The same 2.3l engine is used in the Vignale, but with 50 less hp, and journalists in my country said it consumed 12-13 liters around town.
+ast5515 yes, i meant 8-10L avarage consumption
+wo0feR It's more like 8-10l/100km outside the city (8l on secondary roads, 10l on the highway) and around 12-13l in the city. On average it's more like 10-11l than 8-10l. Still not very bad but nothing fancy
41mpg? My dads returns around 55mpg!
Totaly it's the driver that REDUCES THE FUEL CONSUMPTION NOT THE CAR.
@@maljohn6584 to be fair that’s 41mpg combined and 55 is on the motorway
@@Jameshoward999my dad got 48 combined
I love this guy
5 years later, Alexa is able to answer the question about the elephant. Progress.
To know who is reviewing the car you just have to look at the dislikes. I don't understand the hate for James. I Think he's decent even though Matt is a bit better. If James was the standard Reviewer and one day Matt came along everybody would probably hate on Matt.
MATT WE LOVE YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god i thought you quit!
Mat, its because you have the panoramic roof fitted
Serious question. What do these reviewers mean when they say a car is "fun" to drive? In what sense is it / is it not.... "fun"?
Good car
Now i really want to know the weight of african male elephant.
from 3 to 5 tons
Silly Silly
YES, YES, YES!! Matt!
This one or the Skoda superb? Petrol (1,5) or diesel (2,0)?
One of the best looking wagons on the market

matt isnt back. he just has a few videos left that were filmed in advance.

please a review of mitsubishi lancer
Wish this was in the us 😫 I would of rather had the station wagon variant then my regular Ford Fusion.
this thing is actually quite quick in the corners you know, I think mine handles great....
41mpg thats just driving it wrong my dad doesn't get below 60mpg from his
Why does Carbuyer always advice Diesel engines? Are they more interesting in the uk?
Yeah it's Matt again!
This estate is very practical and wouldn’t ever pick a Passat over it at all. Had trouble free pleasurable refined motoring for last 4.5 years with Titanium X estate 180bhp 2 litre diesel with road tax at £30 year as so clean 👍 - unlike the mass fitted cheat devices across Vw Audi range that are up to 400% above legal max emissions! 👎
it looks nicer than the sedan coupe version
So, where does matt had gone?, I will subscribe to his new channel. :)
CarWow
No, Matt, you are wrong! It wasn't the BMW who answered the question. It was the german support who had a little bit of an indian accent ... I guess that's just one of the world's wonders.
The show is pre recorded from weeks ago, I believe still matt has gone, and replaced by that other guy
Price wise maybe a Skoda Superb Estate???
YEAH MATT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This car is SO MUCH gonna end up being the next police-cruiser in Denmark.... "the doors have an absolutely massive opening.." yeah.... police car :)
Do you buy all these cars or just rent for the videos?
Buy of course. Just like Top Gear.
+watvid1 Are you for real?
+vanhakaveri Yes, it would be too expensive to buy all these. I don't think they make enough money to meet the costs
watvid1 These are press cars, they get them for free to test them, then they return them, then Ford gives it to the next car journalist.
I have seen all your reviews Matt. If you don't like fords don't make them please. Enough of the superiority of passat.
Mat yay!!
Welcome back!! We've missed you. Does surprise me that they don't add more features (automatic boot lid etc)
Can you do the Ford Edge
When u buy a car u definitely also go for the look and style! VW, Opel, Mazda etc they are not even close to the stylish look of this Mondeo! Just look at the front side of this car!i bought this car and every time I step out the car and go away then I have to turnaround to check the stylish look of the car! And the downsides what u are talking abt are for 90% of ppl not relevant!
Mazda's pretty dope tho!🙌
MATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know what car Mat owns?
Mazda Mx5
+TangoR34 and a fiesta i believe
Ford Galaxy
Renault Talisman please
MAAAAAAAAAT!!YAAAAAAAAAS!!
ufff, Matt at last...
Matt, please don't leave :(
P.S. Passat and Superb are much better cars. Mainly, because they are new cars.
Dmitry L i dont know why you would, the Passat is expensive compared to the mondeo and the Superb is basically a Passat in a Skoda frock
The Passat doesn't drive half as good and it's styling is so dull compared to the mondeo
Before I RETIRED I drove all new skoda's and yes and maney other new cars.
But thay are etoreuse for engine management lights come on and engines going in to limp mode.especaly the 2 litre diesels . And I'm only taking about 2017/2020 models.
That interior is such a let down and quite a bit behind almost all competitors. Major mistake they didn't refresh it with the facelift.
I find it amazing that Ford have taken a step backwards in the looks department with this.
The last Mondeo still looks more modern.
I only had to look at the like count to know which presenter it was NOT
The mondeo is most comfortable car i have driven in this segment. I have a superb which is a very good car but no where near as comfortable as the mondeo.
one i hear maat voice, i just quickly klick like button (y)
Ford had NO EXCUSE for NOT offering this version in America!
Less than 2% of car sales in USA are station wagons.
@@LumiHyseni yeah They do like their SUV’s ..
Fords focus on global platforms has shafted us Europeans as far as dynamicism goes.
+Frocobo Same with the Mondeo. Ford ruined their cars by going global. US crappiness doesn't sell well in Europe.
Matt you are awesome.
Ford totally didn't copy the bmw's i8 front lights
This review was the worst you have ever done so far. Sorry, but it's true.
I was just about to unsubscribe... patience is great skill :)
But you sill have yellow card Carbuyer it's better to watch out!
Why do you always take a 2.0 liter diesel engines for your test? Don't you, know English people, that petrol engines also exist? Mondeo has 2 of them: 1.5l 150 hp and 2.0l 240 hp, both turbo.
Hello
His car reviews are pish always talks pish that's why he got booted from country files lol
Imho Mondeo is good for family trips in Europe. If you travel kind of US way (loooong daily trips 800-1200 km) Passat will not be any better. Only VW Multivan.
Matt!
Carry everything including the kitchen sink 😂
For that amount of money, I'll go for the Skoda Superb.
Gorgeous looking practical vehicle. Much more sensible than the overpriced German chit. "I've got to travel all the way around here" - maybe take a packed lunch in case you get hungry on the return journey?
Renault Talisman Estate is coming in perfect moment as Mondeo, Passat, Mazda 6 and Superb are so dull.
U.K. Won't get the reno talisman
Didn't Renault said they aren't going to make them RHD? Plus, it's French... Looks great, but I'll stick to the rest.

The Skoda Superb outperforms this Ford in virtually EVERY aspect, it's really no brainier which one is better.
TheOne42 Mondeo looks 100 times more stylish then that boring Skoda look
Did you ever asked yourselves where does the rear knee room comes from in Superb? Sit in the front passenger seat and try to comfortably stretch your right leg. You'll find there's no room for leg!
