… Ford Edge Vignale 2.0 TDCi AWD … A few months back I drove the ‘Sport’ version of Ford’s new Edge SUV, but the ‘Sport’ label was more of a trim spec than suggesting this was a souped-up, hunkered down 4×4. That was a nice car, but this one was […] Read more »

… Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0 TDCi ST-Line Powershift AWD … If you’re after a well equipped, extremely comfortable, all wheel drive estate car, then you need look no further. Ok, it doesn’t have the prestige badge on the grille to impress the neighbours, but take them for a spin and […] Read more »

Ford B Max, 1 litre EcoBoost … Say it with Flowers … Anyone who doesn’t have small children or elderly relatives, especially a nippy mother-in-law and carnaptious father-in-law, won’t get the point of the Ford B Max. It’s a small car with big doors. That’s it. If you don’t want […] Read more »
