Aside from arguably being one of the prettiest (and biggest) cars in its class, the new Ford Mondeo is now aimed more at serene comfort than pinpoint steering sharpness. It’s a slightly more mature package, leaving the sporty duty in the class down to the Mazda6.
CarBuyer’s Mat Watson does not dislike the new Mondeo, but he does seem to find quite a few things wrong with it – the primary concern is the lack of rear headroom; if it’s really as bad as he says it is, then it’s appalling for something aimed at carrying (at least) four adults in comfort and on long journeys.
Oh and due to its newfound heft, the base engines are best avoided. Think of the first two-liter diesel as the base choice, really, for a car of this size.
