yep on this topic, can I just say, that I have a Ford Mondeo which is a mid sized hatchback (2008). Ive just rounded 220000 clicks. Its a diesel. it has good size (I can fit more in my boot than my wifes Nissan Xtrail) its a comfortable drive, its small enough to fit anywhere, and has a decent amount of pulling power. It isn't what I would call zippy (Diesel just seems to have this lag putting the power to the road) but its cheap to run. Ive had a few what I would call minor issues. One to do with a cracked air intake manifold, and the other to do with the air flow meter. Beyond that, it has been reliable enough. Those 2 issues both in the last 3 odd years.
Knock on wood, this car will get to 2028, but there is a LONG way to go before we get there.
