THE Ford Focus Active represents the top model in Ford’s Active range of mild-crossover vehicles with the Ka+ Active and Fiesta Active being the other two. 

Having briefly driven all the models recently I was delighted to take a Focus Active on extended loan to see if it’s worth paying a premium for the extra ride-height, tweaked suspension, bespoke chassis … Read the rest

Ford Fiesta ST 1.5 – Car Review

WHEN Ford release a model with the letters “ST” or “RS” attached to the name, then you can be sure of one thing: Expectations are sky high. 

After all, the nation has had a long-standing love-affair with performance Fords which started way back in 1970 when the Escort RS 1600 appeared on the scene.

Ford Focus ST-Line X 1.5 EcoBlue Auto – Car Review

THE new Ford Focus has a lot riding on it – and I don’t just mean for the men in suits at Ford Motor Company. The Focus has always been a favourite here in Britain, outselling everything except the Volkswagen Golf and its own smaller, cheekier sibling, the Ford Fiesta.

Ford Mustang GT Convertible 5.0-litre V8 – Car Review

Ford Edge 2.0 Sport 210PS Auto 4WD – Car Review

WHAT works for the Yanks doesn’t always work this side of the pond – take the Ford Explorer, for instance, or the idea that a reality-TV star may make a good head-of-state.
