Ford Fiesta, Ford Mondeo and Ford S-Max are all Awarded Used Car Best Buys by What Car?

The UK's top selling car, the Ford Fiesta, is the model which used small car buyers should be targeting, according to What Car?.

The 'buyer's bible' recommended the three-year-old five-door, 1.25-litre Ford Fiesta Style+ for its outstanding value including MP3 stereo, air con, remote central locking and electric windows.
"As well as being well priced, the Ford Fiesta has low running costs," said What Car?  "The Fiesta is genuinely entertaining to drive, quiet and smooth, well specified and roomy, which means it suits most small car buyers perfectly."

Two Ford large cars are also What Car? Used Car Award winners – Ford Mondeo and Ford S-MAX.
The Ford Mondeo, already Best Family Car and Best Estate Car winner at the title's 2011 new car awards, is also its Best Used Family Car.  What Car? highlighted the four year-old Mondeo in five-door 2.0-litre TDCi Zetec guise.

"The 2.0 TDCi makes the Mondeo feel suitably rapid and it averages a respectable 47.9mpg," concluded What Car?.  "The Mondeo's blend of sharp styling and quality materials gives it the air of an executive model."
Ford's same acclaimed 2.0-litre TDCi diesel is the chosen engine in What Car?'s Best Used Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV).  The Ford S-MAX 2.0 TDCi Zetec on a '57' plate is praised for its sharp steering, tight body control and nimble handling.
