The Ford Motor Company (sometimes nicknamed Ford’s or FoMoCo) is an automobile maker founded by Henry Ford in Highland Park, Michigan, and incorporated on June 16, 1903. Ford radically reformed the methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars, and large-scale management of an industrial workforce. Ford implemented the ideas of Eli Whitney, who developed the first assembly line using interchangeable parts, which made it possible to put the cars together at a much lower cost and with greater reliability and repeatability. The current home of Ford Motor Company is in Dearborn, Michigan. Initially, Ford in Germany and the United Kingdom built different models from one another until the late 1960s, with the Ford Escort being common to both companies. Later on, the Ford Taunus and Ford Cortina became identical, produced in left hand drive and right hand drive respectively. Rationalisation of model ranges meant that production of many models in the UK switched to elsewhere in Europe, including Belgium and Spain as well as Germany. The Ford Sierra replaced the Taunus and Cortina in 1982, drawing criticism for its radical aerodynamic styling. Many British critics said that the car looked like a jellymould. Increasingly, Ford Motor Corporation has looked to Ford of Europe for its ‘world cars’, such as the Mondeo, Focus, and Fiesta, although sales of European-sourced Fords in the US have been disappointing, and in Asia, models from Europe are not as competitively priced as Japanese-built rivals, nor are they perceived as reliable. In 2001, Ford ended car production in the UK, although it owns the Jaguar, and Land Rover car plants.

In the eight months of ownership, the car was in my possession for less than three. Thus the car was not in my possession long enough to form good points.

The Ford Maverick 3.0 XLT Automatic drives on road like a luxury saloon car. It’s very quick for a 4X4 and corners like a hot hatch-back. Motorway cruising is very smooth and quiet. High levels of standard equipment including leather interior, 6 stack CD/radio, cruise control and electric everything.

The Ford Ka is very nippy, especially on the motorway. Although it is small in size, u can get a lot in it with the backseats down as I managed to get all my belongings in the back when moving all my stuff in to my uni address.
