Ford Transit Connect swb 90 lx 2006

Not a great deal to be said here, really. Awesome van, quick, quiet, and very very comfortable. Spacious load area due to square shape, reliable (29k in 3 months, no breakdowns). LX pack a real addition, heated windscreen great in cold weather, armrest nice in traffic, driving position and view of road second only to full size transits. Surprisingly good handling, decent fuel economy (same on average as astravan 1.7cdti that replaced it). Only thing mine missed was air con, get that and you’ll grin for years. This van doesn’t get you to work, it helps you at work. Sounds odd, that. Truly capable vans and well worthy of the Transit badge. Definitive 5 stars.

Ford S-MAX Titanium 2006

They say you should never be the first to get a new model car..........they use the first year to sort out all the problems. I wish I had listened, sometimes, but overall this has been a great experience for me. The marketing was aimed square at me, 42 and 3 young kids starting world war three across the back seats of my older model Honda Accord. Time for more than 5 seats, so I could put one seat between them. Ford wanted to build a MPV that appeals to a driver, and in this respect it should have 6 stars. I tested the Toyota Avensis verso, 7 seats , 2 small ones and a CRACKING new diesel Engine, but the road noise from the tyres was horrendous. The Mazda 7 was too small and under powered. Second choice for me would have been the Honda FRV with its funky 3 across in the front, but tiny rear boot. I test drove the 1.8TDci (thought this was great ! and bought the 2.0 Tdci titanium. This car drives REALLY well for a 7 seater. The torque available is huge, a rolling start coming up to traffic lights and it will equal a 2.0 Petrol no problem. The suspension is great, you can throw it around a roundabout and have some real fun. OK, it is not a sports car, but it is good for a 7 seater. My kids LOVE the back seats, they are full sized and the car has good all round visability. THe Titanium spec has cruise, an in dash 6 CD player, front and back park sensors, auto wipers, twin climate control. I added the panoramic glass sunroof as MPVs can be very dark places. It is actually two large glass roofs, each with a blind, and they make an enormous difference on a lovely sunny day. Well worth it. 90% of the time I use this to motorway burn solo and get 40 mpg at 70 to a bit more than 70.;-) Why not 5 stars ? Well the build quality let it down initailly. One seat handle came off in my 6 year olds hand, it leaked water into the footwell when the A/c defrosted, there were no spare fuses where there should be some after I blew the cigarette lighter. It has all been fixed now and it hasbeen fault free 9 months. So Good things.....the drive, style, equipment, cost of ownership, size ( it is a BIG car),seat flexability, sunroofs Bad things.....teething problems in the beginning, you have to unload the boot to lower the back two seats, wife says passenger seat is hard. Get one.

Ford Focus C-MAX 2007

I’m really surprised to find continuously on the Net reports about this car.As an owner I’ve never had any real problems with my 2.0TDCi C-max.As a matter of fact I’ve started to believe that all this kind of malfunctions appears to cars made in G.B. I clearly remember that before ordering my car I asked them where it’s been made and the answer was "Colonia,Germany."I’m really sorry to believe this but till now all bad reports come from U.K. However,those men in Ford should have do ne something in order to save the company’s good profile.Looking forward to read any comments on my report. Dimitris, Hellas

Ford Mondeo Estate 1.6 110 Edge 2007

This is the best family estate by a country mile. The boot space is enormous but this is not at the expense of the passengers, there is also plenty of room for them too. The rear seats can be folder down and you could conceivably use the Mondeo Estate to move house! I bought the Mondeo Estate on the basis of the advice I had read in a Top Gear magazine, it was the Top Gear choice for family estates. I wish that I had paid a little extra and gone for the 2 litre diesel but the 1.6 gives you a very credible performance. This is a very big, very safe family estate. The best in the category by some distance. I would recommend the 2.0 diesel engine if you are thinking of buying one in the near future.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 2006

I used to drive a Fiesta in the 1980s and thankfully they have come a long way since then. I had to loan a friend’s Fiesta for a couple of weeks because my own car was in the garage. I found it good to drive with plenty of space, good controls and an inexpensive mode of transport. I would not call it visually inspiring but it is a HUGE improvement on my first model!

Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi 136 2007

There are some great points made in the other reviews. Although this not a BMW, Volkswagen or Audi it does have the same level of reliability and build quality. This is the best hatchback available and the price range means that it is affordable and excellent value for money. There is a lovely feeling of space in the cabin and a great safety record adds to a very comfortable ride. The economy is good, especially on the diesel. THE BEST HATCHBACK

Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 Zetec 2007

This is the best family car available in the UK market today. Both Top Gear and What Car? magazines award the Modeo the full five stars out of five, an award that is very difficult to achieve. Why is the Mondeo so highly rated? The Modeo offers the smoothest, quietest drive that I have ever had. It almost feels like you are not moving. Road noise is barely noticeable, even at higher speeds. There is plenty of room inside the quality interior, the boot is HUGE and the rear seats split to offer you different seating arrangements. The Mondeo is, quite simply, quality The new car price being between £15,000 and £23,000 and this makes it excellent value for money. I honestly thought that Ford were losing their edge but I must say that I am mightily impressed!

Ford Focus 1.6 VCT 115 Ghia 2007

I have had my new Ford Focus for 9 months now. It’s the 1.6 VCT 115 Ghia and it’s great to drive, nice to look at and I love the automatic lights. The windscreen wipers are self dipping and the Focus features cruise control. I just love driving it.
