Which roomy estate car would you suggest to replace my Mondeo Titanium X?

I love my 2007 Mondeo Titanium X estate for leg room, comfort, performance and space and it only has 48,000 on the clock, but the A/C has never been much good, is chronically leaking, and now needs a new condenser. The sound system is not as good as in my old Peugeot either. Perhaps its time for an upgrade. Another Mondeo would be OK, but what other similar roomy estates should I consider?

By far the best in class is the new Mazda 6 Skyactiv. I suggest the 2.2d 150 SE-L Nav SW. Otherwise, a Skoda Superb SW, Hyundai i40 SW or Peugeot 508 SW.
