Mondeo is not a bad vehicle, cheap and cheerful.
Personally after owning a volvo estate, it is the little touches that I like. Things that have been thought out. An example is the trigger to lift the rear seat base. The flat boot floor, level bumper and boot floor.

Not having a dig at Mondeo, many times I've gone looking for one for friends and folks and not been able to find a worthy one. Just not many about, I guess they never sold many of the newer ones, especially not estates with any spec on then. Folk buying poverty spec small Audi instead of mondeo these days. And those that are buying them new are keeping them till they're done

Not so up on the ford era Volvo's, d5 went from being a single turbo 5 cylinder to a twin turbo and then a single turbo 4 cylinder right at the end before being the new ones. Which are all 4 cylinder and around 2.0 displacement.
V70 are nice, v60 is a jazzed up modneo, which is good and bad, good for driving, bad for space, and you buy a Volvo because you want space.
Those last V70 are mostly specced with mid powered auto diesel and tbh they suit that. Not exciting, but a nice place to spend a lot of miles. They are popping up for around 3.5-5k for good older ones (2007.5-2010)
