If your insurance will stretch to it, those Mondeo's are bl**dy good. I've had a few as hire cars, comfy, decent to drive. As Electro says that MPG is pretty good to. The esates are huge you've got plenty of load space to if you go down that road.

Probably couldn't do the estate (parking's an **** on my street) but a saloon version would be enough for me so going to have a look at them.
