New family car - Ford Mondeo or SEAT Toledo?
My daughter is looking at purchasing either a Ford Mondeo or SEAT Toledo as a family car. I would value your opinion on which would be the best overall car?

The SEAT Toledo is currently on offer at a £2500 discount, bringing the price of the 1.2TSI 86 S down to £11595: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/deals/seat-discounts-tol.../ That's a very good deal. DON'T go for the base model at £10,000, go for the 1.2TSI 86 S. It's narrower than the Mondeo so will usually fit a garage, but still has lots of space.

My daughter and son-in-law are looking for a medium-sized, family hatchback, SUV or Estate. It needs to take three child seats in the middle row. Sadly, a big Land Rover will not fit in their street.

Looks like a conventional saloon but is actually a hatchback. Huge boot space. Good quality and impressively spacious interior. Great value for money and an ideal family car.

Very good to drive. Refined and comfortable to travel in. Massively roomy cabin and huge boot. Reasonable value. Efficient ECOnetic and EcoBoost models.
