The newest recipient of the 2007 Scottish Car of the Year is the Ford Mondeo! Many have been impressed by this vehicle that’s why there were no second thoughts about crowning Mondeo as the deserving winner for this year. According to Ford.com, this most recent award for Ford’s significantly much-admired newbie was presented by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW) with the Ford Mondeo grabbing the Family Car category award as well.

“I am thrilled the Ford Mondeo has won the Scottish Car of the Year for the company for a second time. Winning the family car category further underlines that Ford is hitting the right target markets and I would like to thank the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers for the two awards,” says Ian Slater, Ford of Europe Vice-President Communication and Public Affairs.

The honors were presented and given by President of the ASMW Stephen Park.

“Often different motoring journalists have different ideas about what makes a good car a great one but our top choice for 2007 didn’t just nudge ahead by a few votes. It won by what I believe is the biggest margin since our inaugural awards back in 1998,” stated Park.

“Look at what’s on offer and the reason for such unanimous agreement quickly becomes clear. It’s striking, it’s spacious and it’s sensational to drive. Offering a massive choice of engines, bodystyles and trim choices to bring a premium ownership experience at an a-Ford-able price, our winner certainly has a licence to thrill.”

“Bringing buyers back to a segment that’s often overlooked in favour of MPVs and SUVs needed something special and this year it arrived. When members of the ASMW first drove this car abroad they knew it had the potential to scoop a win in the Family Car category. When we drove it again on the test car rota it continued to impress with spacious packaging and a driving experience that’s vastly superior to anything else in the class,” Stephen continued.
