Ford

C-MAX

£13,624 - £22,165

Strangely attractive Focus-based MPV. Does family stuff AND looks good AND is fun to drive? Cancel the vasectomy - it turns out dads can have fun too.

Fiesta

£9,795 - £15,280

Ridiculously good supermini still kicking the arse of rivals that were just a glint in a product planner's eye when it first rocked up 30 years ago (oh yes).

Focus

£12,270 - £25,450

If you hate Ford, here's the real reason. Britain's best-seller is a hatch that can do no wrong. Its only drawback is that it's more common than Wayne Rooney's sister.

Focus CC

£19,540 - £23,565

Focus wig no longer on its chest, but perched precariously on its head, making it look a bit girly. That said, surprisingly un-crap for a tin-top cabrio.

Focus Estate

£14,220 - £22,565

Slightly less common than the Focus hatch. Which is like being slightly less common than Kerry Katona. Handles considerably better than her, though. 

Focus RS

Here's all you need to know: you want one. Let's remind you of a few of the numbers here: the RS gets a revised version of the Focus ST's 2.5-litre turbocharged five-pot, thoroughly overhauled to put out around 300bhp... through the front wheels. 

Focus ST

Chest-wigged version of the above. Exists entirely to reconnect modern-day bland-box to the spirit of Cosworths past, and it works. Focus is officially hard.

Fusion

£11,770 - £15,240

At last, Ford Screws Up! Pointlessly jacked-up Fiesta with not a scrap of street cred or usefulness. Equally unsuitable for folk of all ages. A dud.

Galaxy

£19,873 - £28,500

Vast seven-seat MPV bestowed with alluring good looks. Packs the sort of room-stopping impact you expect when Angelina Jolie shows up to collect her many kids.

Ka

£7,445 - £10,480

After 12 years, the Ka has finally been replaced. This one's OK, but will have to fight hard to steal sales from the funkier Fiat Panda, and maybe even the Fiesta.

Kuga

£19,565 - £25,810

In the great spectrum of 'SUVs named after weirdly misspelt North American wild cats', the Kuga is one of the very best. One of the better soft SUVs all-round, in fact.

Mondeo

£15,445 - £27,200

Wears its name like a big, fat millstone on a Marley's ghost-spec chain. List of qualities as long as your arm, but sounds dull. Not fair. Today's reps all drive BMWs.

Mondeo Estate

£16,695 - £28,700

Epically useful and not quite as uninteresting as its donor car, on the basis that it has a specific use so obvious even Jade Goody can understand it.

S-MAX

£17,916 - £28,455

Likeable attempt to inject a seven-seater with the sexy gene. Almost works too, although ends up demonstrating that usefulness is inversely proportional to looks.
