I haven't had a chance to drive a Mondeo XR5 yet, so I guess it is difficult to make a comment. I've only read a few reviews and the feedback has been generally positive. Motor Magazine gave it a harsh review, claiming it wasn't worthy to have an XR badge. As far as I'm aware, they said it should've been badged a Fairmont Ghia, because it has more luxury credentials than performance.
On the other hand, there's no denying (in my opinion anyway), that it's a good performance car (and great for a family). Needless to say it'd be quicker than my XR4, though I think it's extra weight means it overwhelmed by the Focus XR5.
