For The Ford Mondeo 1.6 160 Ecoboost Edge S/S's turbocharged petrol engine is smooth and powerful, with plenty of punch from low revs. No other family car is as good to drive as the Mondeo.

Against The equivalent 2.0 TDCi 140 diesel version’s performance is even more effortless and there’s no getting away from the fact that this is a big car.

If you don’t do enough miles to warrant a diesel Ford Mondeo 1.6 160 Ecoboost Edge S/S, this is the pick of the petrol Mondeos. We’d spend the extra on a better-equipped Zetec model, though.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

With so many Mondeos likely to be bought with company money and pounded up and down the country's motorway network, good fuel consumption and low company car tax rates are vital, so we prefer the punchy and frugal diesel-powered versions.

The pick of the range is the 1.6 TDCi 115, which feels perfectly suited to the car. It's hugely efficient, too, so much so that it's our current Green Family Car of the Year. By comparison, the 1.6-litre non-turbo petrol engine occasionally struggles to shift the car.

Trim-wise, you're best off sticking with lower trims, such as Zetec or Edge, which give you all the important bits of kit as standard.
