A friend of mine bought an 8 monthish old low mileage previous model Mondeo Ghia estate diesel a few years ago for 11K. He loved it until the engine casing cracked and he had all sorts of problems getting it fixed.

If you are considering new don't forget to check out HJ's latest Mazda diesel review for the 2009 Mazda.

I know nothing about the Grand Picasso other than I could not fit comfortably into the cockpit.

Me neither...In the Picasso, the wheel was too far away even on its closest setting. Pedals too near the steering wheel. Footrest too high. Unless the car is fine but my legs are too long and my arms are too short.
