Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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

Rated 3 out of 53

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 Focus RS (2009) CAR test review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 22 February 2009 11:01

At last! After months of studio shoots and passenger ride teases, CAR has finally driven the all-new Focus RS Mk2 – Ford’s 301bhp, front-wheel drive mega hatch – on some of the best mountain roads southern France has to offer. You’ll see how the new second-gen Focus RS stands up against the best hot hatches of all time (Renault Clio ...

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

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Ford S-Max 2.5 (2006) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Angus Fitton, 28 July 2006 10:24

Good grief, another MPV! Why should I care? I'll set the scene. We're just north of Seville on some of the best, most challenging and downright scary roads Europe can offer. The latest Porsche 911 was launched here, and the BMW M6. Ford has chosen these roads to debut the sporty S-Max, a 5+2-seat people carrier hidden beneath sleek and ...
