They're horrid things. Dull to drive, uncomfortable seats, and bodywork that dents as light hits it.0

Would you really call these family cars? Strike me they would be a bit small especially if you are trying to carry all the gubbins that goes with carting the kids, dogs etc around.
Is the Mondeo not meant to be best value for money?
Which is why I got the megane estate, it has 250mm longer wheel base/rear seat space than the hatch and more load space than the Laguna. An under estimated load carrier provided you are not too anti french;)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -

Disagree about the unconfortable seats - I have ran Mondeos, BMW 3 Series, Vectras and Passats and I find, for me, that the 407 is one of the most comfortable. I regularly cover over 400 miles in a day and still feel refreshed - when I used to do that in the Passat I felt wasted.
Not the biggest estate, agreed, but they come under the 'sports wagen' class - if you want a huge boot then Vectra, Mondeo or Passat it will need to be. Second hand, they represent excellent value and with 19000 mile servicing intervals you are not shelling out every few months on servicing.
As far as being dull to drive, it does not go like my Boxster but has great mid range power but it is the 2.0 ltr diesel I drive.0 -

This is the only estate car that can carry a 6 foot harp. I only know this as I sold a Megane estate to a odd bloke who lived near Chester. He didn't want a Vectra or Mondeo sized car as they were too heavy on insurance for his nerdy needs.
I'd chose a Megane over a Laguna as they are decent cars. As decent as a French car can get...0
