  • Ford Fiesta Active X 1.0T Road Test 25 Jun 2018 (roadtest)
    The Ford Fiesta is Britain’s best-selling car and a brand in itself. Ford also sells the EcoSport, a lacklustre crossover only bought by faithful Ford fans unwilling to consider more competitive rivals. The firm has decided it needs something in the middle - a car that crosses
  • Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost 2012 Road Test 14 Feb 2012 (roadtest)
    This is the Ford Focus engine we have been waiting for. A 999cc turbo petrol that, with 125PS, boasts a higher specific output (that’s output per cc) than even the new BMW 328i. Driven sensibly, using the significant torque of which 150Nm is developed from just
  • Ford Escort Mexico/RS1600/RS2000 (1970 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
    With the Escort doing so well in the rallying world, it made sense that Ford would try and sell hotted-up versions beyond the usual homologation specials. The job of creating more widely-produced fast Escorts was left to Ford's new Advanced Vehicle Operations, based in Essex. The first
  • Ford Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac Mk2 (1956 - 1962) (Classics Reviews)
    The Mk2 Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac were a useful modernisation of the original car, adding fins and chrome to the equation as well as more interior room. Ford's advertising referred to them as the ‘Three Graces’, implying a feminine, graceful nature... The entry-level Consul
  • Ford Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac Mk1 (1950 - 1956) (Classics Reviews)
    Ford created a bit of a storm with the 1950 Consul and Zodiac ranges. Yes, the four- and six-cylinder cars might look a little tame today, but their technical package was rather advanced - for a 1950s Ford. For a start, the new large family car featured unitary construction - a Ford first
  • Ford Focus ST 2.3 EcoBoost 2019 Road Test 3 Jul 2019 (roadtest)
    Based on the excellent new Ford Focus, the Focus ST has all the potential to be an incredible hot hatch to take on the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Honda Civic Type R and Hyundai i30N. It's great to drive and just
  • Ford Focus 1.5 ST-Line 2018 Road Test 3 Jul 2018 (roadtest)
    A clean sheet of paper. That’s what Ford engineers were given for the new Focus, with the goal of creating a car that’s better than the Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra while still representing value for money compared to the Kia Ceed and Hyundai i30
  • Ford Transit Custom MS-RT 2018 Road Test 14 May 2018 (roadtest)
    The best panel vans are usually all about carrying capacity, fuel economy and comfort. But the Ford Transit Custom MS-RT follows a different set of rules.
  • Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 GT 2018 Road Test 27 Mar 2018 (roadtest)
    The 2018 Ford Mustang is a car you buy with your heart and spend the next three years saying sorry to your brain for. And your partner, children, neighbours, bank manager, insurance company… it’s a long list so you’d better make sure
  • Ford Edge 2.0 TDCI 210PS 2016 Road Test 21 Jul 2016 (roadtest)
    Ford last sold a large SUV – called Explorer – in the 1990s. It flopped, but the odds are better for the new Edge. It’s practical, spacious, comfortable and packed with technology. Plus it feels well-made and is very competitively priced
  • Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost Powershift 2014 Road Test 9 May 2014 (roadtest)
    We’ve covered the Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost 125 before. But how does the 1.0 EcoBoost work with a twin clutch Powershift transmission? The Powershift comes with the 100PS 1.0 Ecoboost rather than the 125PS. And this lower torque version of the transmission is twin
  • Ford Escort Sport/RS Mexico/RS2000 (1975 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
    Following on from the old Mk1 Escort Mexico and RS2000, Ford continued to offer sporting but not-too-extreme Escorts moving into the more angular Mk2. The Sport and RS Mexico both were powered by the 1599cc 'Kent' engine, developing 84 and 95bhp respectively. Visually, they looked the part
  • Ford Popular, Anglia and Prefect (100-107E) (1953 - 1963) (Classics Reviews)
    The unitary construction, which debuted on the 1951 Zephyr/Zodiac also underpinned Ford's exciting new small car range, which finally saw an end to the old pre-war sit-up-and-beg Popular 103E. Predictably, the new Popular, Prefect and Anglia looked rather like a scaled-down Consul or Zephyr
  • Ford Fiesta 1.5 TDCi ST-Line 2017 Road Test 18 Nov 2017 (roadtest)
    On the evidence of the new Ford Fiesta 1.5TDCI 120 ST-Line it’s not surprising that Ford is quietly confident of keeping its small family hatch at the top of the sales charts. For sheer joy of driving I had thought a few others were catching up, and that the Mazda 2
