Here at A1 we love Fords, they are great cars and have come along way since the dark days of the late eighties to late nineties. They were of course complete pants back then and if you bought one then shame on you. Since the launch of the first Focus back in 1998, Ford have been going from strength to strength. In my opinion they have the best overall range of cars, better than any other manufacturer in the world.

There is one thing that really lets them down though and that is styling. The new Mondeo is ok, but take a look around the range and you will find some painfully ugly motors. The current Fiesta, Fusion, Focus and C-Max’s are total pigs, aesthetically hideous in every way. If you buy one, it will be because of the view and feel from inside, certainly not for how they look from outside.

Just stop right there…………take a look at the new Fiesta, it’s stunningly good looking. If the build quality and performance live up to the looks, get ready for the biggest selling car to hit Europe for some time. With more and more people downsizing there vehicles, the Fiesta could break all records before it. You have been warned!!!
