I think the Ford Mondeo is a peice of junk and that the Toyota Avensis is ace....but which is really the best?

Aston Martin DB9 to drool over

www.reliabilityindex.co.uk - top 100 most reliable cars - "Official.You can't beat Japanese car reliability" No.32 Avensis No.62 Mondeo Hope this helps.

toyota's are more reliable but the new modeo's are definately better looking

Toyota all the way .. Sad for a brit to have to say but when it comes to cars you cant beat German and Japanese (in normal car range anyway)

mondeo for me, a far better all round package without the ecu problems. toyotas are ok for pensioners,i'll stick with the ford

undoubtedly the toyota the mondeo suffers from the front coil springs breaking and puncturing the tyre also rear subframe bushes fall apart front wheel bearings are prone to go yet not of these are prone on the avensis ps i drive a toyota wouldn,t touch a ford you,ll allways be paying out .ps AND THE HANDBRAKE HAS A PROBLEM OF NOT HOLDING ON ALL THE TIME NEW LEVER REQUIRED.in reply to the mondeo owners i own a corolla compressor with 230bhp this is no car for the elderly or a mondeo owner. you;ve read the sign THE CAR IN FRONT IS A TOYOTA,well thats always the case when i pass a mondeo not to mention the amount you see broken down on the side of the road now taken over from the good old metro!!:-)

The Toyota is best !

Avensis is soo boreing and the Mondeo's build quality is shite!.

I run 60 ford mondeos as taxis in Liverpool, they have virtually no maintenance other than cam belts and oil changes and I expect 300,000 out of each of them. I have had one rover 400 that got to 400,000 but that gave trouble in its last year. The Toyota is a good car but i like the Ford, good ride and well made for its price.
