Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI Zetec CAR review

Rated 4 out of 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 Ka Zetec (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Chris Chilton, 29 October 2008 00:01

We’re so accustomed to six-year model cycles that the 12 years it’s taken Ford to come up with the second generation Ka is scarcely believable. But the new Ka is here – and now CAR Online has finally driven it. Read on for our full review. This new Ford Ka looks like a three-door Vauxhall Corsa in a fairground mirror! ...

Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Ghia CAR review

Rated 3 out of 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 Focus ST Mountune (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Chris Chilton, 24 September 2008 09:00

If you’re bored of your Focus ST’s performance or just can’t wait until next year to get your hands of the 296bhp RS, the new Mountune performance pack for the ST could be exactly what you need. Who are these Mountune people anyway and what are they doing with the Ford Focus ST? Mountune is a division of Roush, the ...

Ford Fiesta ST500 CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 17 September 2008 09:45

Remember the old days when cars had steering feel? Well, get queuing up, because this could be your last chance to buy one. It’s the Fiesta ST500, Ford’s last hurrah with the old-gen car before new Fiestas flood the roads. The old days and a Ford Fiesta? I know where you’re coming from… Absolutely. This Fiesta is well past its sell-by date, ...

Ford Fiesta 1.6 Titanium (2008): CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Phil McNamara, 27 August 2008 08:37

Here’s the first drive verdict on Ford’s all-new Fiesta, the most important supermini to be launched in 2008. Not only is the Fiesta Britain’s best-selling small car and the sporting driver’s choice, it’s also the backbone of loss-making Ford’s turnaround plan. By 2010, the Fiesta hatchback will be on sale in Asia and North America (as well as Europe), a ...

Ford Mondeo 2.2 TDCI Titanium X Estate CAR review

Rated 3 out of 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 ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Powershift CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 27 May 2008 11:13

Finally a mainstream manufacturer is offering an alternative to VW’s DSG twin-clutch gearbox. No, it’s not Seat, or Skoda or Audi or any other member of the Volkswagen Group, but Ford. The Blue Oval’s new Powershift ’box is the first twin-clutch gearbox for the masses not from VW. After all, you can’t exactly call Nissan’s GT-R, BMW’s M3 or Ferrari’s ...

Ford Focus ST CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 06 May 2008 16:00

The Ford Focus ST is back, and the good news is that alongside new looks inside and out, the excellent dynamics remain unchanged. Ford has spent the mid-life nip/tuck money freshening up the visuals and left the chassis and engine alone. That means the Focus ST still comes with a characterful turbocharged 2.5-litre five-pot producing 222bhp. Think of the Ford Focus ...

Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Adam Towler, 09 April 2008 09:16

The Kuga's rivals are nearly collecting their goody bags at the small crossover party, but Ford is only just arriving in its new designer suit. Has the Blue Oval missed the boat? The market might still be growing, but Ford risks being unfashionably late in this overcrowded segment. We've driven the Kuga to find out the answer. That Iosis X ...
