Replacing a 2.0 TDCI Titanium Mondeo
I am looking to replace a 2.0 TDCI Ford Mondeo. I drive approx 14,000 miles a year. Mainly the 20 mile run to work on a dual carriageway. I have a flexible budget of around £22,000.
I want something with a good turn of speed and a bit of luxury. I need to get into work regardless of the weather conditions so am cautious about rear wheel drive vehicles such as the XF Jag or a BMW. What would you recommend? Also, petrol or diesel for my mileage?

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