Ford B-Max 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

the CAR road test team, 26 November 2012 15:00

It’s a scenario familiar to anyone with a young family: you pull into the packed car park, eventually find your parking space, then try to extricate your screaming offspring from the bulky child seats you’ve plugged into the back row. At this moment the conventional car door becomes your nemesis: it’s hinged at the car’s central B-pillar, so the car ...

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 10 February 2012 12:15

A Ford Focus with a 1.0-litre engine! Isn’t that like getting Charles Hawtrey to compete for World’s Strongest Man, or sending Samson into battle after a crewcut? In one of the most extreme downsizing examples yet, Ford has plumbed an all-new, turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine into its family hatch, all 1.2-odd tonnes of it. The 1.0-litre Ecoboost is available to ...

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 1.6 Ecoboost (2011) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 14 January 2011 00:01

The Ford Focus redefined that family hatch when it appeared in 1998. Now there’s a new one, the first significant change to the model in seven years. Can the new 2011 Ford Focus Mk3 move the goalposts again? Read CAR Online's first drive review here - and make sure you read the new February 2011 issue of CAR Magazine, out ...

Ford Focus ST Mountune (2008) CAR review

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 Mondeo Edge 1.8TDCi (2008) CAR review

2.5

Glen Waddington, 05 February 2008 11:01

You can tell it’s a base model because of the black door handles. Check out the wheels too: 16in steelies with silver-painted plastic hubcaps. Not cool. But base-level Mondeos aren’t about cool. They’re about practicality and a hint of driving enjoyment for the family man/sales rep (delete as applicable). Just how basic is the basic Ford Mondeo? Get over the ...

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi Titanium (2007) CAR review

the CAR road test team, 04 December 2007 11:49

A facelifted Ford Focus diesel? Is it still fun? In a word, yes. Britain’s bestseller has been under Martin Smith’s scalpel to bring it in line with his ‘kinetic design’. Gone is the slightly mundane look of the current car to be replaced by rakish headlights, little and large opposing trapezoid intakes, and botox-injected sides. This is where the money ...

Ford Transit SportVan 2.2 TDCi (2007) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 01 October 2007 09:45

Er, it’s CAR magazine, not What Van? magazine… We know, but allow us this indulgence. Well not indulgence, but vans are always great fun, and no van is more fun than this, the SportVan. Ignore the cheesy name and just enjoy the spec. Based on a low-roof SWB 260 Transit, the SportVan adds a whole host of cosmetic tweaks and ...

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi (2007) CAR review

3.5

Tim Pollard, 24 April 2007 06:28

A new Mondeo... isn't that supposed to be a snore-worthy non-event? Definitely not. The very mention of Mondeo might not raise the heartbeat, but this is an important car for Ford. Not only does it sell in huge numbers (easily top 10 fodder in the UK, despite declining sales), but it defines the middle market. If Ford gets the Mondeo ...

Ford Galaxy 2.0 (2006) CAR review

4.5

Angus Fitton, 28 July 2006 11:33

A new Galaxy. Where does it fit into Ford's burgeoning array of MPVs? It's quite simple really. The Galaxy is Ford's top-end people carrier, a genuine seven seater with a tall roof, heaps of cabin space and a big boot. It aims to do for people moving what the Transit does for lugging cargo. The others are the S-Max, a ...
