Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Ghia 2005

I have owned a Volkswagen Golf GT TDI 130 bhp and I have to say I was a little bit optimistic at the thought of having to trade it in for a Focus. I have to say that everything about the Focus, when compared to the Golf, is outstanding; value for money and drive quality are second to none and I still get that little grin when i put my foot down. So those of you who are thinking of getting a Focus go on get down to your dealer and buy one .

Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6 TDCI 2006

I bought this car in August 2007 and since December have had the most aggravating experience of my life. The car started cutting out for no reason while driving and the first three times the Ford dealer in Edinburgh just re-set the computer and told me it was fine. The fourth time, after they couldn’t find the fault, I looked on the forums and read about the faulty EGR valve causing these kinds of problems. The next day after I told the garage this, they miraculously said that the EGR valve needed changing. I waited a week for them to do this, and then a few days after getting the car back, I got stranded at Prestwick airport with the same problem and had to get towed back to Edinburgh. So the car is now in for the FIFTH time and four times the AA have had to tow me to the garage. Ford will not provide any replacement vehicle for me so I have had to hire a car four times which has cost me several hundred pounds. Now- they say that the EGR valve they fitted last week must have been faulty too!!!!! and have ordered another one. Because they don’t know how long it will take to come in, Ford still will not help me out with any vehicle hire!!! Both the dealer and Ford customer services have been very, very abysmal and as soon as they tell me the car is repaired I will trade it in at the same garage as I have no confidence in Ford or Ford Customer Services whatsoever.

Ford Mondeo 1998

Okay I know what you’re thinking. When you hear the words Ford Mondeo you don’t think wow babe magnet and instantly the word "Taxi" comes to mind. But I want to tell you that the 1998 Ford Mondeo is unbelievably reliable, even for its age. This is my second Mondeo and can’t imagine driving anything else (unless anyone knows a Ferrari going for under Â£5,000??? - worth a try!) She handles the road wonderfully and I do over 120 miles a day for work. The most recent MOT required slight work but did not exceed Â£200 and tha’ts the most I’ve ever had to pay out in the 3 years I have had her. Like my last Mondeo it was the back brakes that caused the dent in my purse, so if you’re planning on getting one keep an eye on this (perhaps it could be my driving though!!!). The car is extremely comfortable and reliable. The only downside is that it is not the best when it comes to petrol costs. She is a bit of a guzzler. I put Â£90 in a week...but I suppose this does get me 600 miles (is that good or bad? Maths is not my strong point). Anyway overall if you are thinking of getting a Ford Mondeo I don’t think you will be disappointed....oh and ladies there’s plenty of shopping room in the boot and storage places inside (no Imp not sexist...I am female!)

Ford Ka 2004

The Ford Ka is excellent as it is easy to drive because it's small but big enough for the children to get in. It's reliable, cheap to insure and cheap to run.

Ford Ranger Thunder 2004

I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with the fuel injection system on the 04 ranger - ours went wrong at 16000 miles was repaired under warranty but has just started to go again - the warning sign is when the glow plug light comes on and flashes.

The Ford Focus is an ideal compact family car, ideal for school runs, shopping trips etc. The interior is nice & comfortable with lots of space. The car has a large boot for holding extra luggage.

The Ford Focus is packed full of technology that delivers at every turn from the Anti-lock braking system (ABS) to the optional Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), with Traction Assist for extra stability. Driving is always more enjoyable when you are protected. So the Ford Focus's tough body structure is complemented by an Intelligent Protection System (IPS). Ford Focus has a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and has also been awarded a 4-star child restraints rating and a 2-star pedestrian protection rating. You can feel the excitement of driving the Ford Focus just by looking at it. Refined design and functional elegance provide a look that's solid and well crafted.

Ford Focus 2005

Like many of you out there the Focus is my work hack. In a fetching grey and with a diesel lump it does little to stir the imagination of any driver BUT I have to say, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Reliability is second to none, build quality is good and she has now withstood more than two years of daily toil and isn’t yet showing any signs of age. Able to cruise effortlessly at the national maximum and still provide a reasonable return per gallon the Focus is a comfortable ride for anyone doing serious mileage. A few forays into the twistier stuff have revealed she is taut and holds a line well. A racy little number ......No! A head-turner ....... No! An everyday work horse and no nonsense, get the family where they have to be with all of their, and their mates’, baggage, drive..... Definitely. If you can put up with the handbrake been ideally positioned for left hand drive but being in exactly the wrong place for right hand drive vehicles you can’t ask for more from an everyday vehicle. Save the Caterham for the weekends!

Ford Transit Tipper double cab 2007

Better than a car to drive empty, clutch doesnâ€™t have much guts in it loaded, short gear ratios make it fairly nippy but kill mpg - around 300miles to 70 odd litres worth so about 80 quid.
