2012 Ford Focus: So gifted yet so annoying3.5/5

After a few months on the market, the Ford Focus has already won its fair share of awards. It’s pretty easy to see why, given the car’s overall quality, very modern appearance and the fact that you can add a substantial amount of equipment. However, I discovered several annoying features …December 1, 2011

2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost: 2 Litres > 7 Passengers!4.5/5

That Ford's newest and undeniably greatest Explorer is perhaps the first truly worthy successor to the most famous SUV ever is a fact that's already been discussed at great lengths; anything less would have fallen far short of expectations. However, that the big seven seater could be heartily motivated by …November 12, 2011

2012 Ford Mustang GT Convertible: Looking Back into the Future5.0/5

The leaves were already falling in the coastal mountains of British Columbia; fading the horizon from its traditionally lurid green to a mottled amalgam of yellows and browns with only occasional lively spurts of emerald marking the stalwart conifers. As suburban hunters wheeled their new camouflage-covered ATVs into the beds …October 8, 2011

2011 Ford Explorer – A well-deserved vacation4.0/5

When test driving a vehicle, an automobile journalist must check everything: from handling to performance to accessories, not to mention assessing said vehicle’s practicality and personality. Catch an automobile journalist on vacation, however, and you can kiss all that verification and evaluation good-bye! During my recent vacation, I didn’t evaluate …September 21, 2011

2011 Ford Taurus SHO: The SHO Puts on a Show4.0/5

I'm a child of the Taurus generation. Born in the same year, raised in more than a few of them, and having bid just as many adieu, they're probably one of a handful of cars that really marked my childhood. If they'd been a bit more like this new one, …September 2, 2011

2012 Ford Focus Titanium: A New Focus Brings Clarity to the Commuter Car5.0/5

Ford Focus Road Test Last week, I confessed that my love affair with the automobile is anything but monogamous. Falling head over heels for anything that excels in its particular purpose, I've found myself coveting everything from sports cars to luxury sedans to pickup trucks to the tiniest of hot …August 27, 2011

2011 Ford Mustang GT: May it never disappear4.0/5

Most of us dream of buying a sports car one day. Maybe it’ll be a convertible or offer some other feature that is more sexy than it is practical. For a lot of people, this dream is the Ford Mustang, an icon that goes back 45 years and seduces buyers …July 27, 2011

2011 Ford Edge: A Chunky Monkey with Reflexes4.0/5

When I graduated from the venerable, attractive, and ridiculously expensive University of British Columbia, it was with an undergraduate degree in English Literature clutched within my left hand. Having consumed innumerable books ranging from mind-blowingly, life-changingly good to Ondaatje levels of bad, I like to think that I got pretty …July 1, 2011

2011 Ford F-150 Ecoboost: Tour De Forced Induction4.5/5

Ford F-150 Lariat Ecoboost Road Test I make no attempts to hide my attitude towards the Ford F-series pickup truck… to be true; it is indeed fanaticism bordering on idolatry. I own them, I drive them, and I can’t think of a better truck for nearly any situation. That being …June 25, 2011

2011 Ford Explorer: Reinventing the Wheel5.0/5

By now, you may have heard that the single most important SUV ever produced by mankind has been reinvented. If you haven’t, you’re probably deaf, in which case you’ve probably already read about it. Ok, so that may be a bit of a hyperbole. After all, the Land Rover Defender …May 10, 2011

Mustang Shelby GT500: The king of American sports cars (for now)4.0/5

The Ford Mustang is one of those rare cars that runs on history and tradition – that’s what happens to cars when they’re instantly successful. And that’s certainly the case for this American icon, which saw almost a million units sold in the year following its launch at the 1964 …April 7, 2011

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
