My Ford

Advantages: All
Disadvantages: No

...Driving: The Fiesta's forte. Ford really knows how to make cars handle, so even the cheapest Fiesta will thrill the driver in you. Steering is crisp (all models have a leather wheel), corners are taken tidily and enthusiastically yet the ride remains supple too. A class act, enhanced on the Zetec S model to perfection. Indeed, it's better than the ST, which has more grip but less finesse. The ST's engine is quicker but noisier than the 1.6-litre ...
...are OK. Servicing from a Ford dealer (the largest network in the UK) should be cheap and painless, and there are so many Fiestas around, finding parts will never be costly or difficult. Ford build quality is good and the car's reliability record is good. A four-star NCAP result is par for this class, though a few rivals go one better. ...

Review of Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi Hatchback

Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec

Advantages: A great car from all angles
Disadvantages: Not as many extras included as I would have liked

...the proud owner of a ford focus 1.6 zetec and for the first time in many years I have actually found a car that pretty muc suits all my needs. I have spent many a time in cars that are too big, too small, not suitable, not comfortable etc but this is everything I could ask for. I own the three door version but the doors open widely and when the front seat is moved forward there is plenty of room to get anyone in the back, even my mother in law who ...
...really go wrong with a Ford. Reliability is excellent and if anything does go wrong then you know Ford parts are pretty cheap to get hold of. Im personally really pleased with this car for the money. Cheap to run, insure and tax. Great reliability and a lovely drive. ...

Review of Ford Focus 1.6

Ford Escort : 'Not A Bad Car'

Advantages: Cheap to run, plenty of room, 5 seats, good first car, cheap parts, widely available, large boot
Disadvantages: no power steering, slow going up a steep hill

The 1.4 Ford Escort is quite a car in many ways. Featuring 5 doors, a large boot and a sun roof, this spacious car certainly has all the features. It pretty much has everything you find in a standard car, except power steering which can make moving when stationary a hard task. Being quite an old car means the Ford Escort is an ideal first car because the insurance is only around £60-£70 a month for someone aged 20-22. I was fully insured for my first ...
...it comes to petrol the Ford Escort loves the stuff. £10 will usually do about 80 miles, but I have managed to get about 90 miles out of it by driving smoothly and not accelerating too quickly. One thing I have found is that the fuel gage says you're out of petrol when you still have enough left to do about 10 more miles. Friends and family usually say, 'have you got enough petrol?' and you have to reassure them that you have as the gage is below ...

Review of Ford Escort 1.4 Hatchback

ford fiesta flight 1.3

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: rear seatings a bit cramped

...my car - a silver ford fiesta flight 1.3. After wanting the newer ford models and planning to save up and buy a different car for about 6 weeks i suddenly changed my mind after realising I actually loved the car I had and would be ever so sad to see it go. Its a brilliant first time car, the seats are comfortable, the clutch isnt heavy, the steering is light, it looks gorgeous inside when it is lit up at night. These cars are not too expensive neither, ...
...down on me yet! (*touches wooden table*) Parts are relatively cheap as well as cost of transport. It will cost about 30 -35 quid (depending on the petrol prices) to fill up my car and it will last for about 2 weeks and thats with around an hours worth of driving everyday. I would recommend this car to any first time drivers out there because it's simple, reliable and very lovable. I dont want to think about buying a newer car model anymore lol. Will ...

Review of Ford Fiesta 1.3

My opinion on the Ford escort.

Advantages: its a Ford.
Disadvantages: its aa older car now.

My mum has a Ford escort zetec-e 1.6 car which she has had for about 2 years now. It has be a great car and passed all its MOT's sofar,i've always liked ford escort because their a big car with lots of space but are still cheap to run. The only thing now is they are old and stoped making them in 2003. my favorite one is the Ford Escort GTI 1.8L it looks good and sounds good. but for me to much on the insurance but my mum's one is good its a (N) ...
...as the new cars do but for its age its great, its nippy for around town but you count always fit into parking spaces. if your looking for a cheap car and don't want a fiesta and wont a bigger car then go for a escort. in my opinion its a good car. ...
