2012 Ford Focus: Ford’s on the comeback trail4.5/5

In 2000, in its infinite wisdom, Ford management decided to replace its popular Escort with the Focus.

The Focus made a great first impression, …March 15, 2011

2011 Ford Explorer: A reflection of our era

These days, vehicles have become so sophisticated and efficient that it’s hard to say everything in a single article. As for me, since I had the opportunity to try the vehicle on the Ford circuit in Romeo, Michigan, I’ll focus my observations on its off-road handling and Curve Control system. January 12, 2011

Ford Fiesta vs. Mazda2: The little cousins go head-to-head

Comparative Tests

It is a well-known fact that the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 share many components. However, their engines and transmissions are a little different from one another. The expression "little cousins" is more accurate on the Old Continent, where these two economy vehicle icons are equipped with more similar drivetrains than …December 30, 2010

The 2011 Ford Fiesta: The Perfect Car?5.0/5

Occasionally, a car comes along that absolutely blows you away. For example; the first time I experienced precisely how explosive a 600 horsepower Dodge Viper can be is a memory that I’ll not soon forget. Likewise, the awe-inspiring all-around performance of Porsche’s latest 911 Turbo left me absolutely floored. Nissan’s …November 20, 2010

2010 Ford F-150 FX4: Still Built Ford Tough4.0/5

On this, one of the most filling of weekends, we’re often asked what we’re thankful for. And although the answers heard around the dining room table are often insightful dedications to family and friends, there’s some merit to the oft-simplistic thanks offered up from the obligatory kid’s table. Sure, a …October 10, 2010

Mustang Shelby GT500: The affordable racecar4.0/5

When you work as an automobile journalist, you get the chance to drive quite a lot of powerful cars. However, in this age of political correctness, most cars now feature a number of electronic systems that ensure your safety but also reduce your control over the vehicle and, by the …October 7, 2010

2011 Ford Fiesta: Mission Accomplished

For nearly a year, Ford has led a fervent ad campaign promoting its Fiesta. Even before it hit the market, the manufacturer took every opportunity to send its message: "The Fiesta is coming". Not just that, but they brought in twelve European versions to show off to the public and …September 9, 2010

2011 Ford Mustang: The 5.0 is back!4.0/5

Forty-five years later and with nine million units sold, the Ford Mustang is one of the most recognized cars on the market. But for a little more than a year, sales have been slipping. The reason? Some very serious competition has edged into this segment with the Chevrolet Camaro, the …April 7, 2010

2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty: Built tough4.5/5

Long before the automobile crisis began, several manufacturers had already made cuts in new vehicle development. Chrysler haven’t been launching many new vehicles. Ford, on the other hand, has taken the opportunity to introduce several new models. The new Taurus immediately comes to mind, as do the Flex EcoBoost, Transit …March 23, 2010

A Tool on Wheels: The 2010 Ford Transit3.5/5

Perhaps one of the most interesting car debuts to come out of 2010 is this: the Ford Transit Connect.

The 2010 Ford Mustang: A Ponycar Without Compromise4.5/5

Porsche owners can be terribly annoying people. Incredibly proud of their preferred automaker’s engineering prowess, they’ll spend hours trying to convince you that the decades spent fine-tuning and tweaking the 911’s rear engine layout have turned the worst powertrain layout possible into a thing of beauty. And then they’ll lambaste …January 6, 2010

Ford Fiesta: Pow! Right in the kisser!4.5/5

The older people out there will remember the Ford Fiesta, which was sold in North America from 1978 to 1980. This same Fiesta is being brought back after a 30 year absence, but with a wonderfully modern shape and offering such evolved handling that other sub-compacts are sure to turn …October 28, 2009
