There’s nothing boring about a car that is reliable.  In fact there’s something to be said for being able to travel long distances without the engine having hysterics and throwing up its hands just as you get onto the M1.  If you’re keen on cars that prefer total style over substance, then it’s time to think again.  The cheap Ford Mondeo is absolutely stunning, and yet somehow it retains all the sturdy dependability that we have come to expect from Ford.

Unless you’re courting someone in the rescue services, it’s time to retire your old banger and invest in a cheap Ford Mondeo.
