2012 Ford Ranger XLT Double Cab review
Is the 2012 Ford Ranger XLT Double Cab ‘built Ford tough’? To find out, we set out on a 10-day long road test covering more than 2700kms, travelling through rural NSW and VIC, carting four people plus luggage. It was a surefire way to put Ford’s new-from-the-ground-up 4×4 workhorse to […]
2012 Ford Falcon G6E Turbo FG MKII review (video)
What we have here is the very impressive 2012 Ford Falcon G6E Turbo FG MKII. Think of it as an XR6 Turbo in a tux’ – it shares the same powertrain, but offers a more sophisticated in-car environment for those who like things more snazzy than sporty. 2012 FORD FALCON […]

2012 FPV F6 FG MKII review (video)
Whether you like Holden or Ford, there is no denying the Aussie-built 2012 FPV F6 FG MKII is a very, very fast and intimidating piece of work. Once you get it going (and get traction), it’s fair to say that it is one of the fastest accelerating production sedans in […]
2012 Ford Focus Sport TDCi review – quick spin
The 2012 Ford Focus Sport TDCi diesel is, well, sporty. Forget diesel clatter and black smoke, think roaring 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, and very keen handling.
