Huge interior, incredibly comfortable, upmarket styling, great to drive, low emission ECOnetic version

May now be too large for some buyers

This is the third generation of the Mondeo. It’s also the largest, most comfortable, and best equipped, with a model to suit most buyers. The entry level cars are the best large hatchbacks you can buy and far superior to the Vauxhall Vectra and Renault Laguna. Overlook the Ford badge and the top range models rival prestige cars like the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class in terms of build quality and driving experience. Prices have actually come down for this new Mondeo, despite the fact that it's better equipped, safer and bigger than before. The flipside to this is that the huge discounts that were previously available will now be much more difficult to come by. In 2010 the Mondeo has received a little cosmetic surgery, the most noticeable part of this refresh it the new nose-job. The front-end has had a complete overhaul, this includes an enlarged lower grille and a smaller upper grille, while the rear receives new LED tail-lights, an all-new bumper, a reshaped valance and an integrated rear spoiler. The interior has also had a little nip/tuck. There is now a one-piece central console, it is soft to touch and the plastics are of a higher quality. More kit is offered as standard including blind-spot alerts, lane-departure steering-wheel vibrators, an alertness assessor, a rear-view camera, automatic headlight dipping speed limiter and LED daytime running lights.
