Ford Ka 1.3 Studio 2006

I love my little Ka. It’s a car with bags of personality and even though it’s been around a while the shape still looks funky and makes it stand out. Good, solid and reliable and doesn’t cost me the earth to run.

Ford Fusion Diesel 2003

Bought my Fusion in 2003 and 47,000 miles on the clock. A very underrated car. Absolutely reliable with no faults in 5 yrs and not even needed a replacement bulb. The diesel engine is economical (64.2 MPG combined) and performs well in all conditions. Amazingly, it seems just as happy going up hill with 5 as with one. Loads of space and a pleasure to drive.

Ford Focus Estate 1.6 Petrol LX Trim 2005

Overall, this is an excellent car. I was a little surprised by the comment from Ian Jones as the Focus feels incredibly solid, particularly when compared to rivals like the Citroen C4. In my variant, the engine is quite noisy at motorway speeds but the car always feel nimble and up to pretty much whatever you throw at it. The seats stain with water marks very easily, but realistic family buyers usually accept that small children will always find a way to ’customise’ your cars interior. This might have been improved with the 2008 models. I totally recommend this car.

Ford Mondeo Titanium X TDCi 2007

John Groves. Are you sure the Mondeo Titanium X is the best car you have driven? The ride is hard due to the 18inch alloys and 40 profile tyres. Also, the road noise is unbearable. Compared to the equivalent Laguna’s; this car is the pits. I’ve had 3 Laguna’s and thought I’d try a Diesel Titanium X Mondeo rather than the Laguna. More fool me. Now I’m stuck with a car that is way inferior to the Laguna.

Ford Focus C-MAX Zetec 2004

My C-MAX 2.0ltr diesel is in for a service with a Ford dealer. I had told them about the lack of power in the car and smoke coming out of it when the car is turned off. They have just phoned me to say that the Egr valve is faulty on the car, the cost to me to have it fitted by Ford is Â£400. This is the last straw, I have had this problem with this car on and off over the last 3 years and it’s only done 26,000 miles. Ford never found the problem until it was out of warranty, funny that. Money talks. Come on Ford, do the right thing.

Ford Focus C-MAX Zetec Diesel 2007

Expected to buy car tomorrow but read the faults submitted and I may not. Thanks for your comments, it was going to be a 1.6 as there would normally be only two of us in the car but would now consider a 1.8 or is it 1.9 Have they put the faults right on the 05/06/07 cars, or even the 08 plate, no answer no buy.

Ford Focus Coupe Cabriolet 2.0 Automatic 2008

When this car arrived I was initially mistaken that the front was the back, the bonnet measures 2’6" whilst the boot, although unmeasured (I only had my wifes sewing kit tape, and it wasn’t long enough), looked to be approx 12". I decided to take my eldest son with me, I opened the door, worked the mechanism for the seat to come forward, so he could get in the back, I nearly lost my thumb as the seat shot forward with all the force of a blunder bus propelling forward at an alarming rate, almost like an ejector seat facing the wrong way. The sculptured seat was better suited to the catwalk, not in style, simply was built for a size zero. I decided we would go to Tesco, the roof release was easy to operate, all I can say is , its a good job its 24 hour opening, that said we were on our way. The Auto box seemed to be straight from an 81 on the W Volvo 343 GL. The gear change was as seamless as Doctor Frankensteins stitching, I was left wondering whether the seat forward mechanism was also part of the gear box as it had the same motion, Like a giant elastic band. We did our shop, returned to the car, I went to put the shopping in the boot, luckily for us Geoff Capes was loading his car next to us and helped raise the boot lid as it was like raising a double up and over garage door with a faulty mechanism, I couldn’t help wondering if they had used the seat mechanism on it I could have loaded the lid and fired the shopping home, yet incredibly for space because of the roof, you have to squash all your shopping into a 6" void. This would be an ideal pizza delivery vehicle as we thought we could probably get 22, 15" pepperoni in their. I can not determine fuel economy as I never went out in it again, as I was being treated for minor whiplash

Ford Ka 1998

My wife’s KA has been an excellent buy. Very little has it ever needed repairing. I put two new tyres and a new battery on it a couple of weeks ago and then found that the air-flow meter needed replacing ( approx.Â£150). As it’s getting a bit long in the tooth now we decided to look for a replacement. The best deal is Â£1000 trade-in for a new KA Zetec Climate Panther black and fully kitted out - Â£5999 at Holloways Ford near Durham. It’s a brilliant deal - picking it up on Friday. We’d recommend a KA for all seasons !!!

Ford Fiesta Zetec climate 1.6 TDCI 2005

The car is excellent to drive around town and is economical and reliable. The ride is harsh on bumpy roads but road holding is good. The 1.6 diesel gives a lot of torque (more than the 2.0ST) so is easy to drive and surprisingly quick. I test drove the 1.4 which I found sluggish. The negative points are the seats, I cannot get comfortable as the back slopes away from the shoulders. Also there is no space to put your left foot to the side of the pedal. Otherwise a fun car to own.
