Definately a Mondeo - comfortable, reliable, well equipped, massive boot - and best of all CHEAP! :money:

or Skoda Octavia...as a 2nd choice!

A couple of Q's...

Do you NEED diesel, that'll create lots of other comments, I know, but you'll pay a premium for it & it'll probably have had more miles done all ready!!

Break even cost wise is around 15,000miles/year, before industry figures say diesel is cheaper.

How big car do you need...

Astra/Focus size - Astra much better value, but less street cred.

Mondeo size - buy a 406 - dated design, but excellent diesels - 2.0ltr Hdi model

Omega/ Big Merc/BMW - buy a high spec Omega for 1/2 the £$£$ of the 'German' brands (it was built there too!!)
