It's a common sight on Britain's roads, but Ford's Mondeo family car is anything but average! In fact, it's an almost flawless offering in the family car market - which is why we named it Best Large Family Car in our 2012 Car of the Year awards. The five-door Mondeo has a massive boot, offers loads of passenger space and the most comfortable ride in its class. What's more, it's still fun to drive. Even basic Edge trim gets alloy wheels and air-conditioning, while top-level Titanium models are lavishly equipped. Of all the engines available the diesels are best, offering punchy performance with good economy - especially the green ECOnetic edition. The Mondeo was facelifted in 2010 gaining LED headlights and tailights on high-spec models, a sublty revised centre console with new plastics and new EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engines, alongside new diesels and a smooth new Powershift automatic gearbox.
