Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Edge (2011) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 02 August 2011 09:36

Rental cars. Not what they used to be. So when I touched down in Italy on my recent summer holiday, imagine my delight when my cheapest-possible-small-estate package turned out to be the new 2011 Ford Focus Estate – one of the few cars I've not driven. Ours was the popular 1.6 TDCI Focus in Studio trim, roughly equivalent in spec ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2011 06:47

The new Ford Focus aims for the middle ground between the groundbreaking, sharp-steering first-generation Focus and the duller but smarter Mk2. In theory, if it can match the fun of the first with the quality of the second, it could be on to a good thing. The new 2011-spec Ford Focus has already – by a whisker – seen off the ...

Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCI (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2011 11:55

This is Ford’s second-generation C-Max, one of ten models Ford will spin off its new global C-platform – there’s a bigger Grand C-Max, three Focus models, plus hybrid and electric versions as well, and by 2012 it'll underpin 2m units annually. It’s the new Grand C-Max that will take to name to North America too, and cater for the 60% ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI 163 Powershift (2010) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 26 November 2010 11:47

Ford has a knack of being late to the party. The Kuga itself was only launched in 2008, but until now it's been bereft of one of the most popular drivetrains available on SUVS: a diesel auto. These have finally landed in recent weeks, mating the proven 2.0-litre TDCI turbodiesel with Ford's Powershift twin-clutch six-speed auto. You can pick your ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi long-term test review

2.5

the CAR road test team, 14 May 2009 15:07

Long-term test update - 14 May 2009 Much of the pleasure taken from life with our long-term Ford Kuga has centred around its chassis and its steering. Both owe more to the brilliant Focus than Andrew Ridgeley owes to George Michael (ie, everything), and together they achieve the remarkable feat of making an SUV handle like a real car. Other SUVs ...

Ford Ka 1.3 TDCi (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 05 February 2009 13:27

Ford’s just launched a diesel version of the new Ka. And why not? All the hardware was there for the taking because the Ka is based on the Fiat Panda/500 platform, so that’s where the engines come from too. This one’s a 1.3-litre common-rail turbodiesel with 74bhp, so it’s 7bhp up on the Fiesta’s PSA-sourced 1.4. The question is, will ...

Ford Fiesta Econetic (2009) CAR review

3.5

Glen Waddington, 02 February 2009 09:00

Ford’s gone green with the Fiesta, and added an Econetic version to the range. The usual green mods are present: low rolling-resistance tyres, lowered suspension, rear air deflectors, a modified ECU (peak torque is actually 6lb ft down on the standard engine), low-viscosity oil and a higher final drive. Oh yeah, and it’s got one of those annoying lights that ...

Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi (2009) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 18 November 2008 09:50

You’re going to see an awful lot of the new Ford Fiesta pretty soon. It’s bound to take its traditional place near the top of the British sales charts, and it deserves to do so far more than ever before. But though there’ll be plenty around, I’d wager three-quarters of them will be petrol-powered – the smaller you go, the ...

Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Ghia (2008) CAR review

3.5

Colin Overland, 13 October 2008 10:37

Before the current Mondeo arrived, its styling, its cabin technology and its chassis were previewed in the latest version of Ford’s biggest MPV, the Galaxy. And if you think the supersized Mondeo is big, the Galaxy will have you searching for a new adjective. It looks like the S-Max, and everyone loves the S-Max, so what’s the point of this? ...

Ford Mondeo 2.2 TDCI Titanium X Estate (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 27 May 2008 14:27

Is there anything actually wrong with the Ford Mondeo? Sure, a few people may grumble about drive being sent to the front wheels, or the fact that the badge on the front is a blue oval and not a blue and white propeller. But really, the latest Mondeo is quiet, comfortable and a damn good drive. About the only criticism ...
