Great drive, good quality, value for money, lots of luggage space.
Auto's low-speed clunkiness, poor fuel economy and emissions.
What the Estate lacks in cleverness it makes up for in space.
The Mondeo shares much of its structure with the Galaxy and S-Max, both of which have received the full five stars for adult occupant protection in the Euro NCAP crash tests, and it's closely related to the Volvo S80 and new V70, too.
Safety equipment now includes a driver's knee airbag, and anti-whiplash front head restraints, as well as full-length curtain airbags, Isofix child seat mounting points and seatbelt pre-tensioners. Stability control is also standard, and options include adaptive front headlights, bi-xenon headlights, tyre pressure monitoring and adaptive cruise control with hazard warnings.
Ford's investment in safety has paid dividends. Thanks to a long list of safety equipment the new Mondeo scores the maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating for occupant crash protection, and a four-star performance for child protection. Two out of four stars were awarded for pedestrian safety.
