Ford FPV Boss 335 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 07 May 2012 07:00

Ford’s Australian outpost has built its most powerful car ever: the Ford Performance Vehicles Boss 335 GT. That’s 335 kilowatts, by the way: 450bhp to you and me, from a supercharged five-litre V8 engine shoe-horned into the bodyshell of Ford’s standard, rear-wheel drive Falcon saloon. With a bonnet bulge the size of Uluru and that power output stencilled into its ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Ford Focus ST (2006-2010)

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 20 March 2012 09:00

When the Focus ST launched back in 2006, it served up something genuinely different in the hot-hatch segment. Yes, there's that unique 2.5-litre, five-cylinder turbocharged engine, endowing the ST with a beautiful, Ur Quattro-like warble and bags of easy torque. But it's more than that: the whole feel of the Focus ST – while undoubtedly sporty and great to drive ...

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 Ecoboost (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 Fusion Hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 27 July 2010 12:06

Before we get too confused, I’d like to make just one thing clear: we’re not talking about the UK Ford Fusion here – the Fiesta on stilts that’s driven only by OAPs. No, this is the US Ford Fusion, the large four-door saloon, and we’re testing it in hybrid guise. Shouldn’t it look a bit more, well, futuristic? Admittedly the ...

Ford S-Max 2.0 SCTi EcoBoost (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 08 March 2010 09:11

Ford’s S-Max MPV still seems a spring chicken, but it has in fact been on sale since 2006. Hence the 2010 facelifted S-Max you see here, ushering in a range of cosmetic tweaks (minor) and engineering upgrades (rather more significant). We’ve tested the all-new model, premiering Ford’s new global EcoBoost engines. Announced at the 2009 Detroit auto show, EcoBoost has ...

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 26 November 2009 09:00

It might have a Shelby name but the old man isn't really building Mustangs these days. The real engineering heroes behind the facelifted GT500 are the blokes at Ford’s SVT (Special Vehicle Team). The original 2007 car, you might recall, was powered by a supercharged 5.4-litre V8 delivering 500bhp to the rear wheels. It was quick, but hardly sophisticated, overweight ...

Ford Fiesta Zetec-S Mountune (2009) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Chris Chilton, 23 March 2009 11:47

Ford's brilliant new Fiesta only has one problem – the lack of an ST model. Actually the real problem is that there isn’t one coming – Ford canned it to concentrate on green cars like the Fiesta Econetic. I’m sure Ford has done its sums but given how many of the old-shape STs you see charging around Britain’s towns, it ...

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 Fiesta 1.25 (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 11 February 2009 10:30

Ford expects the 1.4-litre petrol version of the Fiesta to be the best-seller. And that’s fine, but we’ve a sneaking suspicion you might be missing out on the sweet-spot in the Fiesta range. The best news is that it’ll actually cost you less too, both to buy and to run. Because we’re talking about the smallest engine in the range: ...
