A Firm Favorite: Ford Mondeo

As a result of the Ford Mondeos versatility it swiftly became a fond favorite within the company fleet car market

. With its huge payload it makes a great deal of sense for any company of any size to use this car. Fortunately, the Mondeo does not outlive its usefulness once these companies have finished with them and it makes just as much sense on the used car market too.

Most firms in the U.K will keep their fleet of company cars for about three years and then seek to replace them, due to MOT, servicing etc. For the used-car market, this is where the best deals can be found. A three-year-old Mondeo, with average mileage can be more appealing to the used car family buyer for a number of reasons:

1. Reliability. This is one of Ford's main strengths. The Ford Mondeo can be almost bullet proof when it comes to longevity; it is not uncommon to see examples that have covered more than 200,000 miles It has been recognized at the What Car? Car of the Year 2009 awards, wining Best Family Car and Best Estate Car for the second year running.

2. Value for money. You get a lot for your money with Ford's leviathan, as it features cruise control, electric windows, and even a heated front screen.

3. Performance. This is where personal preference plays a part. There are so many versions to choose from and you will have to decide what is the best option for you.. It is true that the 2.5 turbo version can whiz past most things on the motorway but do not dismiss the 2.2 diesel version. It will keep most drivers on their toes but still deliver an impressive MPG.

4. Looks. Though most motorway mile eaters do look the same, however, the Ford Mondeo deserves a closer inspection. The latest incarnation was designed while Ford still had Aston Martin and Volvo on their books and as a consequence, design similarities can be observed. If you take a look at the front wings, you will see that they have a chrome insert which mimics the Aston Martin's air intake. The shape of the headlights is also a design hue taken from 007's sporty hack.

5. Safety, you simply cannot go wrong in this sector. The Ford Mondeo has the lot, all round air bags, Anti locking brakes, electronic stability control, side impact beams, you name it, and the Ford has it! The Blue Oval marketing boys once ran an ad calling the Mondeo "The safest place to be" and they were right, Though having a prang is no-one's idea of fun, if it does happen, one of the best places you can be is cocooned in a Mondeo.

With everyone these days concerned with saving money, the Ford Mondeo is one of the best options. Just take a look on any used car forecourt and you are sure to find one. Try to go for the lowest mileage you can and make sure it has all its history. If it is an ex-company vehicle, the likelihood is that it has been serviced at the correct time and at a main dealer.

In summary, if you are looking at changing your car and want the best deal around, you could do a lot worse than the Ford Mondeo. If you make a wise purchase, and you look after it, a Ford Mondeo can last you for years.
