Focus and Ka win UK awards

A panel of judges comprising used car market and vehicle valuation specialists at CAP voted unanimously for the Focus, declaring it as, "the vehicle which set new standards of quality in the volume car market during the decade 2000-2009”.

The judging panel was particularly looking for a car which excelled in a number of areas, such as, affordability, practicality of ownership, sustained popularity and trusted reputation.

The awards were presented to Jon Wellsman, sales director, Ford of Britain, by Ian Rendle, client service director, CAP Motor Research, at Ford's UK headquarters in Essex.

Mark Norman, chairman of the CAP judging panel, said of the Focus: "Although the awards concentrate on three year-old vehicles, it is testament to the build quality of Ford cars that well-maintained examples from the late 90s still feel as if they have many years of motoring life left.

He continued: "The Ka scores on every measure of used car excellence, offering true affordability, low running costs and reliable simple engineering. The 1996 to 2008 Ford Ka offered something truly fresh to the small used car buyer as well as a reliably popular offering for the used car dealer."
