Buying a used auto estate – Mondeo or Insignia?
I’m in the market for a used automatic estate. I’ve set my sights on a Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Insignia. I am looking for a car with good economy and towing ability, as I own a 1450kg caravan. I have £10,995- ££11,995 to spend – which would you buy?

I'd go for the Ford Mondeo. Presumably you mean 2.0 TDCI auto? The six-speed torque converter auto should be better for towing then the later Powershift.

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