Ford Fusion

Ford Fusions attract a group 4 or 5 rating.

Ford Ka and Ford Fiesta

Insurance groups for Ford cars tend to be very good - a ready supply of dealers and spare parts keeps down the cost of repairs so you won't be paying over the odds to insure your Ford. The smaller cars, including the Ford Ka and Ford Fiesta start with an incredibly low group 2 rating so insurance for these will be very competitively priced. Models that are better kitted out, of course cost more. The StreetKa luxury models for example get a group 7 rating, as does the 1.6 Fiesta Ghia.

General Information

Ford are one of the top sellers of cars in the UK. A hugely popular range from the Ka to the Mondeo, and including the ever popular Focus ensures that there is no shortage of demand for these cars. Price levels are comparable with volume competitor Vauxhall and are a little cheaper than the equivalent VW or Audi.

Although an American company, with no car assembly plants in the UK (since 2001) we still consider the Ford a British car for some reason. Most UK models will be sourced from Belgium, Spain and Germany. Transit vans are still, at this time, manufactured in Britain, and the company still builds large numbers of engines at plants in Dagenham and Bridgend, and transmissions at Halewood. These are used in Ford vehicles, and in a number of cars by other manufactureres.

Ford now offer a 3 year 60,000 mile warranty on most of their vehicles. Service intervals on new cars tend to be 12,500 miles or annually.

Ford Galaxy

The big Galaxy people carriers are rated at group 11 through 13 for most models, though the 2.8 litre V6 Ghia attracts a group 16 rating, which seems high, though when compared to the the Peugeot 607 2.2 SE it's more than reasonable. Peugeot's top spec 607 (the 607 3.0 V6) gets a group 17 rating, though it is a little quicker than the Ford on the 0-60 sprint.
