Why it stands out

The third-generation Ford Mondeo was sold from 2007 to 2013, and it was offered as a four-door saloon, five-door hatchback and five-door estate. It had a wide engine range with petrol and diesel options, but the pick of the line-up was the 140hp 2.0-litre TDCi diesel, which combined strong performance with economy. The hatchback boot held 538 litres, the saloon’s boot held 535 litres, and the estate offered 542 litres with the rear seats up.

It is a very spacious family car with plenty of room for passengers and useful storage throughout the cabin. It is also one of the best cars in its class to drive, with a smooth ride, sharp handling and decent refinement. The main trade-offs are that some rivals feel more upmarket inside, the stereo controls are fiddly, and some cars can suffer from central locking glitches.

Best for: Buyers wanting a roomy, comfortable and enjoyable family car with sensible running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers who want the most premium-feeling interior or the latest infotainment.
