The Ford Transit light commercial range is well-known and -regarded for its work-day functionality - and the Custom Sport variant adds to that rep. In 320S panel van guise this van may be engineered to carry loads onboard sans stress, but is it any good at towing a load? A 1765kg cherry picker should be enough of a burden to test this popular van's performance under pressure.

Ford's Focus redefined how good a hatchback could be over 20 years ago. It's still doing it, too. The Focus Active is an attempt to cash in on the ongoing sales dominance of SUVs without having to go full SUV. It probably shouldn't work, but Ford is good at this sort of thing.

The Mustang automatic has not been the critical darling that the manual is. Dithery, sometimes clunky, it's not great in the four-cylinder. But with a few years behind it and an MY21 update, perhaps Ford has ironed out the kinks in the self-shifter's character.

The Puma ST-Line V is Ford's cheekiest tilt yet at the Mazda CX-3 class, combining striking design with a sporty chassis, to make it a keen driving proposition. That said, thoughtful packaging, a gutsy yet efficient powertrain and a high level of standard safety features reveal other sides to this compact Euro crossover. Prices are a bit on the high side, but there's also plenty to like here too.

By Matt Campbell · 22 Apr 2021
The Ford Ranger line-up will never stop growing. Now there's a Ranger FX4 Max, which fills the previously unimagined niche between the XLT, Wildtrak and Raptor models, with a sensible setup and some intentional additions from the flagship ute that make it something different, yet very similar, all at the same time. It's a weird idea, but it works.
