2014 Ford Fiesta SFE EcoBoost: Don't Pay More For Less3.0/5

2014 Ford Fiesta One-Litre: Underhood Ménage-A-Trois4.0/5

2013 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCab: The Everyperson's Pickup4.0/5

The 2013 Ford F-150 is a fan favourite in Canada, and it's easy enough to see why. Selling more units than any other truck in the country - and occasionally, the best-selling vehicle overall - the Ford F-150's greatest strength is its diversity. You can order the truck in a …August 28, 2013

2014 Ford Mustang GT: Last Chance Muscle Express4.5/5

Initially enormously successful as a commuter car, the Mustang eventually morphed …August 23, 2013

2013 Ford Explorer Sport: Performance Utility Vehicle4.5/5

When is a sports sedan not a sports sedan? When it’s gained 1000 kilos, added a third row of seating, and jacked up its suspension so that it can cross streams and muddy ruts with ease. The 2013 Ford Explorer Sport is the new, faster, and sexier version of the …June 4, 2013

2013 Ford Fusion: Ford's Lights-Out Family Sedan Challenges Segment Leaders4.5/5

2013 Ford Escape Titanium: 2000 km later4.5/5

It has become a ritual. Every year, we head to the Detroit Motor Show. This year, we drove down in a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium.
