Default Re: Which new Fords have you been looking at, or test driven?

When it comes to new Fords, being serious now, I'm scratching my head as to what to replace petrol AWD Territory with (and so probably won't replace with new). F-Pace about the same size, X5 bigger, Velar a little smaller and all can be had with north-south petrol full time AWD. It's a niche that falls between Endura and Everest. All the Euro handling SUVs I mentioned above are a lot more expensive and depreciate hard.

From the Ford range, Focus Active looks to be the bright puppy, the extra ride height, somewhat like a Suby XV but with a nice torque converter auto. If only it came in driver-switchable AWD... In theory it would make a nice runabout that could go on tracks, more so if all-paw.

Sox, there are some very nice low km AU's around if you can uncover them...
