Ford is stacking up trophies like cordwood

The award winning European Ford Focus is winning plaudits in another area... This time, as a used vehicle after a decade as the UK's best-selling new car. What Car? judged the Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec the best small family car in their Used Car of the Year 2009 awards. The What Car? judging panel looked at running costs, reliability, drivability, quality, longevity and desirability. The Ford Focus, the UK's top seller every year since its launch in 1998, was credited with "good fuel economy" and "a fine reputation for reliability".
