Look up dimensions of each. Decide for yourself whether the difference will make it easier for you. Nobody else can asnwer this but you tbh!

30cm difference in width it seems hmm

My mondeo has parking sensors which ive not really used yet so i wonder if they will make it any easier, dont suppose im particularly bothered about other cars dinging the doors as its not my responsibility to pay for the repair if that did happen

I've recently started a job which includes a company car in which I have no say - it's a Mondeo estate and it's massive.

I can park it alongside our family car - a Nissan Note - on the driveway,but it's very tight. After 2 days I got fed up with the moaning from her in charge about how difficult it was to park next to, so the company car now lives on the road.

The best part is; Mrs still manages to make a meal of parking one car on the "double" drive.

Haha oh dear, i can make the drivewayjust about work but multi story car parks im not so sure

I'm surprised people want even more cars to be parked in the road.

I'd say if you need lots of space in a car because you need to carry lots of stuff or people then you can take advantage of the availability of the bigger car. If you don't really need that space then get the smaller one. Why get a car that's more difficult to park if you don't need it.

I initially went for it as i do a lot of motorway driving so thought a longer wheelbase would be smoother/quiter and plus the mondy comes with more kit as standard
