Ford Reviews

Change is good but there will always be some who become enraged at the mere hint of it. Case in point: those who strongly dislike 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engines.

The Ford Ranger Wildtrak has achieved icon status. It’s the ute people refer to as the one they want when you ask them… well, that or the Raptor. That station used to be the realm of the SR5 HiLux.But it’s more than just a kooky variant name - it’s the fact the Wildtrak is based on a benchmark ute in the segment, the Ford Ranger - but with some flashy elements inside and out that separate it from the rest of the range. Dual-cab utes like this one have become a solution to everyone’s problems. These vehicles are so versatile, so useful, and so popular that they’re becoming a default for people out there who just want a ute that can do anything for them.So does the Wildtrak offer everything a ute buyer would want? And what’s it like when it comes to actual ute duties? We put some weight in the back to find out.

The 2019 Ford Transit Custom 300S short wheelbase van arrives in an already busy market segment. It has always had a loyal following, however, the Transit has consistently been overshadowed by Toyota's HiAce and the like.

You've got to feel for the marketing peeps at Ford tasked with cooking up a catchy one-word description for the new Focus Active.

You've got about $30K and you'd like to buy a sporty hatch. Don't. Not until you've read our invaluable sporty-hatch comparison, as we crown a winner based on performance, practicality and price.

Who would have thought that the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton would at times be battling for the top spot on the sales charts?But that's the case, and dual cab four-wheel drives are the flavour of choice for buyers. So we assembled the HiLux Rogue, Ranger XLT and Triton GLS Premium in order to see how they compare to help you find out where you should be spending your money.

It only seemed right to transport a 1951 Ford using a 2019 Ford in this latest tow test for our Everest. Truth is the true test would be for Richard Berry who as a rule doesn't tow.

The fourth-generation Ford Focus has arrived on Australian roads. Always underrated by car buyers - but highly rated by critics - the new Focus has a job on its hands. Can it join the Hyundai-Mazda-Honda hatch fight?

Ford has a new kid on the block. Well, it's a large kid - a five seater SUV that competes with the likes of Mazda's CX-8 and Hyundai's Santa Fe. It's the Ford Endura.

Wait, what? Small cars for families? Well, they can be, if you choose the right one. Ford’s Focus has undergone a rather dramatic makeover of late, and this new 2019 model has more interior space than in the past. It’s in a tough category and competes with cars like the Mazda3, Hyundai i30 and Toyota Corolla. I was in the Focus ST Line, which is in the middle of the range. Prices for this model start at $28,990 before on-road costs. Does it have what it takes to compete with the others? I drove it for seven days with my family to find out.
