For The Mondeo is hugely spacious, superb to drive and impressively refined. The diesel and turbocharged petrol engines are strong and smooth.
Against Some might find the sheer size of the Mondeo daunting and there's some road noise on coarse surfaces.
What Car? says
Family cars don't come any better than the Ford Mondeo. It's great to drive, smooth and comfortable to travel in, and has loads of space. It's our Family Car of the Year for 2012.

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.
