Long Term Test: Ford Mondeo goes European

Our long-term Mondeo estate arrived recently – and just kept arriving. My partner enquired if the back was in the same postcode as the front as it was so far away. Man it's big: it is actually longer than models like the Ford Galaxy and Range Rover Sport, and is half a size bigger than the VW Passat.

OK, so it's big, but is it clever? We took it on our summer holiday to the Italian Alps to find out.
