Buying a new estate - Passat or Mondeo?
I want to buy a new large petrol engined automatic estate as I only do 6000 town miles per annum. Sub £23k via a car broker will get me a Volkswagen Passat 1.4 DSG Executive or a Ford Mondeo 2.0 Powershift Titanium X Sport.
Based on reliability, running costs and comfort, which would be best? Are there any similar vehicles in the available price bracket that I have missed?

The Mondeo, without a shadow of a doubt. Check the past history of Passats and Mondeos at www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar

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

Incredibly spacious as a saloon or estate, excellent range of engines and trim levels, comfortable and refined on the move.
