I'm on my second Mondeo. Can't fault it for space, running costs etc.
Missus has an S Max, simply a superb family vehicle. Been faultless for 4 years.

BMW 335d, does 28mpg with a heavy foot round town and over 50mpg at between 70 & 80 on the motorway, plus is 286 bhp and 427lbs/ft or torque, this car pulls hard from 1500 rpm or get a 330d, not much less performance but a lot cheaper

Some of these "sports tourers" have woefully small boots. The Insignia for instance is shockingly small! My old Mk2 Mondeo estate had more space in the boot.

i just got a volvo xc70 for work and its mega....quite impressed and 40mpg aswell. mondeo mk4 20tdci titanium x sport would have been the choice,proper nice car but the extra ride height and 4x4 was what was needed. v50 is a smart car too.

ive got a 55 plate volvo v50.
when i was looking round it was down to that or a passat.
the volvo just has so much more spec and is a great all round car. mine is silver with black heated leather. im so glad i chose it over the vw.
