  • Ford Focus ST 2012 Road Test 12 Jun 2012 (roadtest)
    The Ford Focus ST is a case of ingenuity born of compromise. No 3-door ‘coupe’ in the Focus line-up. But there is an estate. So, in a stroke of V-Power fuelled genius, the product planners decided, “let’s try a Focus ST estate
  • Ford Mondeo ECOnetic 2010 Road Test 4 Mar 2010 (roadtest)
    2010 is going to be the year of the Ford Mondeo. Because this spring it will get a new range of engines that are both nicer to drive and much more efficient. Meanwhile, in our hands, the 2.0 ECOnetic 115 averaged a creditable 51.5mpg. The Mondeo has been maturing nicely
  • Ford Focus Facelift 2007 Road Test 29 Nov 2007 (roadtest)
    , a 230 volt power outlet On top of all that Ford of Europe is on a bit of a roll. If you want a new Mondeo diesel or an S-Max you have to join the queue and wait as long as six months. “Discount, sir. Well we can do you a few points off, but forget any residual-destroying five grand
  • Ford Focus CC 2007 Road Test 20 Mar 2007 (roadtest)
    . At the launch, Ford also had a 1961 Consul 375 convertible. A lovely old thing: 1,703cc, three-on-the-tree and bench seats for six. It served as a useful reminder that Ford convertibles used to be considered posher than Ford saloons. In the 60’s, if you were rich enough, you could happily run a Consul
  • Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet (2006 - 2011) (Reviews)
    Ford only expects to sell 6,000 in a full year, it will have built in a margin that allows for discounting. There's also a launch offer of free dual climate control and leather on CC-3 versions, so it's off to a good start. Ford
  • Ford Street Ka 2003 Road Test 19 Mar 2003 (roadtest)
    I can tell you from experience that the Ford Street Ka doesn’t need the delicious curves of Kylie Minogue draped all over it to turn heads. It does that job all by itself. Roll into the square of a town in Southern France in one of these, and every head turns. All age groups from
  • Ford Escort RS Cosworth (1992 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
    The Ford Escort RS Cosworth proved that it was possible to follow its legendary 1980s Sierra namesake. Just like the Lancia Integrale and Subaru Impreza, this was a Group A rally car for the road - pure and simple. It was actually underpinned by a shortened version of the Sierra Cosworth RS
  • Ford Sierra RS Cosworth (1985 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
    If you thought the extrovertly bespoilered Sierra XR4i wasn’t quite enough, your prayers were answered in 1985, when Ford unveiled its latest homologation special, the Sierra RS Cosworth. It was powered by a 1993cc double-overhead camshaft engine breathed on by Cosworth, with a Garrett
  • Ford Escort RS Turbo (1984 - 1990) (Classics Reviews)
    Extending the Group A homologation theme to include a turbocharger, Ford followed up the RS1600i in considerable style. For many buyers, the homologation-special RS1600i rather close in both looks and performance to the XR3i, so the addition of a turbo was just the ticket in the fast-escallating
  • Ford Sierra XR4i and XR4x4 (1983 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
    , Ford introduced the XR4x4, a four-wheel drive version. The new car wore the standard five-door (and later, estate car) bodyshell, and combined with wide RS alloys, it looked suitable subtle to give the right impression to more discerning executive car buyers. The XR4x4 went to to be an enduring success
  • Ford Escort XR3 and XR3i (1980 - 1990) (Classics Reviews)
    Ford was actually quite an early arrival on the hot hatchback scene with the extrovert - and devilishly handsome - Escort XR3, despite going on sale four years after the Volkswagen Golf GTI. And with that target in mind, Ford devised a package it felt should have blown the Volkswagen
  • Ford Cortina Mk4 and 80 (1976 - 1982) (Classics Reviews)
    , the Cortina was offered in a wide variety of trim levels – base, L, GL, S and Ghia. The new top model was a nod to Ford’s outright purchase of the Italian design house, and within a couple of years, the wood ‘n’ velour model would be rolled out across the entire range
  • Ford Escort Twin Cam (1968 - 1971) (Classics Reviews)
    Although the Cortina-Lotus Mk2 was still on the Ford price lists when the Escort Twin Cam was unveiled in 1968, it was effectively replaced - or rendered obsolete - by the young upstart. The new car - the ‘Lotus’ name was only silently attached to the Escort Twin Cam
  • Ford Zephyr/Zodiac Mk4 (1966 - 1972) (Classics Reviews)
    enough not to be too embarrassed by the raging success of the Anglia 105E and Cortina Mk1. In that climate of success, 1962′s Project Panda, which began to take shape as the next generation Zephyr and Zodiac, was bound to do well. The all-new car (it shared very little with its predecessor
  • Ford Lotus-Cortina Mk1 (1963 - 1966) (Classics Reviews)
    Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus, knew a thing or two about making great road cars. So it's no surprise to learn that the Ford Lotus-Cortina is one of the most sensational machines of its era. Quite simply, fitting the 105bhp twin-cam, as used in the Lotus Elan and Europa into Ford’s
  • Ford Zephyr/Zodiac Mk3 (1962 - 1966) (Classics Reviews)
    Now the Consul had been separated from the Zephyr/Zodiac, it meant the larger car could grow in dimensions in order to suit its position at the top of the Ford model range. For theMk3, not only did they grow in size, but also considerably in weight. Once again, the styling seems to have been
  • Ford Consul Classic and Capri (1961 - 1963) (Classics Reviews)
    In order to replace the old Consul Mk2, as well as plug the gap between that Anglia, Ford decided that a new model line was the way forward - and that would be modelled on the smaller Anglia 105E. The 1961 Consul Classic certainly inherited much of the smaller car's looks. The reverse

  • Ford E-Transit Custom MS-RT (2024 on) (Van Reviews)
    Even in more basic trim levels, the Ford e-Transit Custom raises the bar in terms of what to expect dynamically from an electric van. But with the souped-up MS-RT model, the Blue Oval has created the fastest Ford Transit
  • Ford Transit Custom Plug-In Hybrid (2019 - 2024) (Van Reviews)
    Diesel vans still make the most sense for the majority of users, but the Ford Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid will appeal to those who mainly drive in city centres and want to do their bit for air quality (and avoid hefty penalties for entering clean-air zones
