My Ford

Advantages: All
Disadvantages: No

...* Rating: * On the road price: £11,195 - £15,395 * For : Dynamics, build, smart styling * Against : Noise, mean kit 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 Zetec-S too. No Fiesta engine is quiet though, while road and wind noise also join the cacophony. But supportive, high-set seats and a spot-on driving position pleases, making up for the lack of space for the clutch foot. Marketplace: Plentiful choice is sensibly...

Review of Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi Hatchback

TomTom really have the market sussed

Advantages: Great customisation features, big clear screen, easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery life, no wall charger included

...believe you can attach headphones to it so not to attract attention to yourself with the spoken instructions! This versions of the TomTom includes the latest maps of the UK & Ireland. You can get some TomTom's which have maps of Europe in them, but as I'm not planning on road trip around Europe anytime soon I went for the UK & Ireland version. Another big factor on choosing this one was the fact that the Europe edition was £80 more expensive at the time & after checking just now I noticed they haven't changed in price as I presumed they would have done either. The TomTom Go 520 has a 4.3" touch screen, this is bigger than a lot of the competition brands of sat nav & one more reason I went for the TomTom. The touch screen is very easy to use & extremely responsive. You don't need one of those special pens like I've seen with other sat...

tom tom one europe

Advantages: ease of use
Disadvantages: none

...I have been using the Tom Tom One for over 16months now, so do consider myself an expert on this particular piece of kit! Why did I buy it in the first place - that bit is easy, I travel a lot in a new job and to towns I would have never heard of before - on top of that I had some fantastic inside information that I will share with you. A friend of mine is in the car lease business - everything from Ford to Ferrari! Obviously most of the high end vehicles have built in sat nav. As he delivers cars to their owners all over the country he has used them all, so he is the real expert. Guess what - he always carries his Tom Tom One with him He has become so frustrated with other systems unuserfriendliness (if that is a word) that he sticks with what he considers to be the best - the Tom Tom One. His advice - unless you need...

Review of TomTom ONE Europe

Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec

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

...I am now 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 is disabled. The back of this car is extremely spacious, comfortably fitting 3 large adults in. The boot size is deceiving in that it looks pretty small but is very spacious indeed. Perfect for all those shopping bags as well as a childs pushchair. The actual drive of this car is superb. Mine runs on unleaded and is very economical. I can get over 200 miles to £35...

TomTom To the Rescue

Advantages: Easy to use, better than an A-Z
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, battery is not great

...After recently getting my brand spanking new TomTom 520 I thought I'd say a few words about how wonderful it is! The TomTom brand of satellite navigation is probably the most popular satellite navigation system around. This is not to say it is the best one, merely the most popular. Within the TomTom range there are numerous models and the price ranges from about £130 - £400. Obviously the more you pay then the more features you will get. These may include things like different maps for the rest of the world or the ability to link it to your phone. Satellite navigation systems are basically a tool that uses satellites to locate where you currently are and direct you to your destination by putting in the desired address. They use spoken voices to tell you when and where to turn and also how far from your turning you are. It is...

Review of TomTom GO 520

Tom Tom Go520

Advantages: Bigger, Slimmer, All round better!
Disadvantages: None

...This a fabulous tool to have on the road. The ease of use and added features make it one of the best gps systems i have found on the market. In my line of work it is essential that I arrive at various locations throughout the country, and as well as instant point of interest access i also require the ability to pre-plan all of my journeys. This device can supply all of my needs and many more. The larger screen makes the typing in of locations and settings much easier than previous models. And the flexibility to practically design your own screen layout with the information you require on a daily basis makes using the Tom Tom Go520 so much easier. That fact that this model is also much slimmer that all of the previous models means that it can be used hand held when out of the vehicle. Get yourself one today!...

Review of TomTom GO 520

Tom Tom's top of the range

Advantages: Voice control ... 3D modeling at tricky motorways
Disadvantages: Voice command is sluggish

...This new GPS system is Tom Tom high-end version. The Tom Tom Go 930 drives you where you need to go with accurate directions and new navigation tools such as voice address entry and advanced game guidance! The Pros--- Offering entry by voice keeps your hands on the wheel if your driving and need to change route? the new lane assistance helps when the roads get complex by rendering the roads in a 3D form- making the route easier to follow. This portable system also has the classic feature such as route calculation time, text to speech function, integrated blue tooth, maps for UK, US, Canada and the rest of Europe, a remote control and a widescreen display! It also has a very long 5hour battery life which is obviously very handy in tricky situations. Another bonus is it comes with free speed camera software- which I believe to be...

Cujimmys Comprehensive Guide On Used Fords

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...~ ~ Ever since old Henry Ford made the Model-T into one of the world’s first popular mass-produced cars, Ford have never been too far from the top of the manufacturer’s league. Today they produce a range of vehicles of all sizes and types, which they market internationally on every continent and in nearly every country on the planet. So it hardly comes as a surprise that here in the UK and Ireland Ford is the car of choice of literally millions of motorists. There are more used Fords on the second hand car market than any other marque, and it is these I am going to look at briefly here, in the form of a type of “guide” to what is available, and what are the “best buys”, that I hope will possibly prove of some use to anyone considering buying a used Ford. Escort <><><> ~ ~ The Escort first...

Hendy Ford Cosham

Advantages: Excellent Customer Service
Disadvantages: Parking could be improved

...I arrived at Hendy Ford in Cosham and I must admit, parking was not the easiest. However once I found a space I was so glad I came here! I was greeted by David Beckhurst, who was extremely polite and asked if I required any help, I told him that I was just looking. He said that if I needed anything, he would be happy to help me. I was looking at the Ford Focus, and was having a little trouble with the seating position. David spotted me from across the showroom and came to help me. I am very cautious of car sales men, being a single woman. However without being pushy he told me how the seat worked and I was able to adjust the seat the way I wanted it. We then went on a test drive, he answered all the questions that I had about the car and made me feel at ease (I?m not the most confident driver). Once we got back to...
