Ford cars are renowned for their excellent durability, so it should come as no surprise that when it comes to buying a used car Ford is often an extremely popular choice among customers searching for a used car that will still offer years of use. Anybody looking for a used or new car should take a close look at Ford’s formidable range, which is available to buy from trusted used car dealer Evans Halshaw.
While Ford already had reason to celebrate over the immense popularity of their small cars and their lauded technological advancements in the field of fuel efficiency, a testament to their environmental conscience as car manufacturers, they were recently honoured with 3 used car awards from highly respected industry experts What Car? magazine.
Ford cars won awards in 3 different categories at the What Car? Awards, which are organised each year to identify, highlight and give recognition to the very best used cars currently available on the market. What Car? Editor-in-chief Chas Hall complimented the quality of the cars that drove away with awards this year.
Ford’s first award came in the best used supermini category for their Ford Fiesta 1.25i Style+ 5dr. When it was first released, the Fiesta 1.25i Style+ 5dr was praised for its agility, fantastic handling and for being one of the quietest cars on the road in the supermini category.
While not among the most spacious superminis, the excellent performance levels of the Fiesta 1.25i Style+ 5dr and its sheer value for money distinguish it as an attractive car on the used car market, which no doubt helped it clinch the What Car? Award.
Ford’s next big win came in the best used family car category for the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Zetec 5dr. Singled out as an excellent car for drivers who notch up a high mileage when it first entered on to the market, the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Zetec 5dr also received widespread recognition for its superb handling, which makes it remarkably agile for a big car.
The Mondeo remains immensely popular in the UK and has been a major force in the family car class for ten years. With good fuel efficiency for a large car, a significant amount of space for the family and storage for long trips the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Zetec 5dr should certainly be considered by anybody looking to buy a used family car and it was a worthy winner in its category.
Finally, Ford also came top in the best used multi-purpose vehicle with the Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi Zetec. Again, it was the responsive steering and overall handling of the S-Max 2.0 TDCi Zetec that won unanimous positive feedback upon its initial release.
Available in four different power units ranging from 114 to 197bhp, the S-Max 2.0 TDCi Zetec is spacious enough for the whole family to be seated in comfort, combining power, performance and practicality in an admirable package.
Anybody planning to buy a used or new car should take notice of Ford’s stellar range, which continues to combine quality with value for money.
