Shortly after we tested the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.0 Biturbo, we found the new Everest in our driveway. With the same engine and gearbox combination, how did it compare with the Wildtrak?

Padtoets: Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi Handrat
Twee weke nadat ons die splinternuwe Ford Kuga ST-Line deur die passe gesit het, is die Kuga 1.5 Trend 6-spoed handrat aan ons afgelewer. Met Ford, wat reeds die mylpaal so hoog gestel het met die Kuga 2.0 ST-Line, kan die 1.5 Trend 6MT enigsens byhou?
Padtoets: 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor
Vir vele stedelike inwoners is daar nie veel aanloklikheid rakende bakkies nie… en met goeie rede. Behalwe vir die duursame V6 bakkie hier en daar, is die natuur van hierdie tipe voertuig onprakties vir die stad. Breed, harde vering en ‘n tekort aan ‘n kattebak is maar net sekere van die probleme. Tot onlangs is die bakkie (of die “pickup” in Engels) gesien as ‘n voertuig vir die plaas en werkverrigting. Die klem word ergter hier geplaas op ‘tot onlangs’…

Sprint Review: Ford Fiesta 1.0T Titanium Auto
Good breeding, clever design and cool colours – surely this is a winning recipe?
Padtoets: 2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Titanium
Het Ford die B-segment oorwin?
Getoets aan die einde van 2018, is die Ford Fiesta 1.5 TDCi Trend gekies as Galimoto Media en NamWheels se tweede “mees verbeterde” kar van die jaar. Uitmuntende kwaliteit, genoeg spasie, goeie padhouvermoe en ‘n algehele brandstof-verbruik van 4.1 liter per 100 km (ons beste nog), kon ons geensins anders laat kies nie.
Padtoets: 2018 Ford Figo sedan
Blitsberig: Ford se nuttige nuwe Figo sedan
Die nuwe Ford Figo is in September 2018 op die Suider-Afrikaanse paaie bekend gestel. Kort daarna het ons die nuwe luikrug weergawe getoets, en was baie verras met die nuwe Figo se ‘waarde-vir-geld’ (lees meer: https://www.namwheels.com/tested-2018-ford-figo-hatch-1-5-trend-auto/).
Tested: 2018 Ford Ecosport 1.0T Trend Automatic
The unfair favour
Some things suffer from unfair, unsolicited prejudice. Think of the perfume or aftershave your most hated boss wore, places where you got hurt as a kid, that song which reminds you of your ex, or food and drink that made you sick. See what I mean? They’re all completely innocent, much like the Ford EcoSport.

The good automatic
Acronyms are everywhere, especially in cars. Besides A.B.S., E.S.P. & Co., I’d like to introduce you to K.I.S.S. While the word is usually reserved for loved ones and that amorous aunty at Christmas, the abbreviation “Keep it simple, stupid” applies to my latest test car, the new Ford Figo.
