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.£150). As it’s getting a bit long in the tooth now we decided to look for a replacement. The best deal is £1000 trade-in for a new KA Zetec Climate Panther black and fully kitted out - £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.

Had a Toyota Hilux and an Isuzu Rodeo 3.0tdi previously but this Ranger is in a class above. Anyone contemplating a pickup, must try one.

Ford Titanium X Tdci 2007

I have to say having previously owned 3 Renault Laguna’s, I think i’ve made a major mistake opting to buy a Ford Mondeo Titanium X Tdci 130Bhp. Where do i start. The Road noise even at slow speed is very annoying. Also you feel every bump in the road. I put this down to the 225/40/18 low profile tyres on the 18 Titanium X rims. The Six speed box is far from a smooth gear change. The half leather seats are very uncomfortable when on long journeys. The only benefit with this car is the MPG you get with the 6th gear on motorways. If you can put up with the road noise.

Hi, I am currently experiencing this problem. What have the dealership done? I was about to change the air flow sensor?

Ford Focus 1.6 tdci zetec climate 2007

Simply the best car I have ever had. Drives well and I get over 50 miles to the gallon to boot. It is well screwed together, what more do you want or need?

Ford Transit 280 2007

The Transit is good on fuel and ride is good too. Front wheel drive has a low floor so loading is easy. Had problem with the E.C.M. and the radio needed replacing within three weeks of collecting the van and had to wait six weeks for replacement. Nice drive but steering has no adjustment.

Ford Focus 2007

I have owned my new Ford Focus for 12 months now. I love driving this car, the 1.6 115 VCT Ghia, it is a real pleasure. My only complaint is that in some situations it is under powered, the handbrake is awkward as it was designed for left hand drive models but I still love it.

Ford Focus C-MAX 2.0 TDCi Zetec 2004

I really like this car - does everything I need and drives really well, but... I’ve also had similar problems to others. After 1 year the EGR valve stuck and it let me down a few times before Ford admitted a problem. The symptoms were that the car started fine but didn’t restart after a short journey - if it hadn’t had time to warm up properly. Having sorted this, I then had a problem with it losing all power at speed on the moterway with a baby in the back and massive wagon’s up my backside. Ford’s computer said ’no’ so Ford told the dealer to hand the car back with no action. I complained to Ford and got a smooth ’not our problem’. I have now got starting problems again and been let down again this morning. Car now out of warranty. TIP from AA man. Carry a rubber mallet. Take off the engine cover (I now leave mine off) and tap the aluminium pipe to the right of the engine as you look at it, somewhere along the middle of it. This frees the valve and the car starts. Not a permanent solution, but has got me going when I’ve been stuck. Planning to sell but still love the car...

Ford Fiesta 2.0 ST 2006

Cracking little car - drives like a go kart. Seriously needs a 6th gear as it revs highly in 5th at 70mph. I never got better than 30mpg from my ST, but it was excellent fun when putting your foot down.
