They sold alot in the 80s in the UK. Always came no.1 in sales charts. Alot of that was the company car market. Most of the time they lost road tests in car mags. Not just one...all. In the 80s Ford Fiesta was always beaten by Peugeot 205 or Fiat Uno, Escort by Vauxhall Astra, Peugeot 305 then 309, Citroen BX, VW Golf (when mk2 came out), Sierra by Cavalier mk2 and mk3, Peugeot 405, VW Passat even the Montego was known as being a better drive!! Granada mk3 was a good car though and always did well in road tests, only prestige stuff like the Audi 100/200, BMW 5-series, Merc E class beating it, along with the Vauxhall Senator giving it a real run for its money. And as for the good ole Capri...love em but they were hopelessly outclassed by the mid 80s by newer stuff like Celicas, Supras, Nissan 300ZX, Audi Coupe etc. Does any of this matter....nope!!! I love 80s Fords for their looks, styling, interiors and just memories. I'd love a Sierra 2.0i Ghia and would have one over a Peugeot 405 despite knowing the 405 would piss all over the Sierra in ride, handling and refinement!!

Ford GT won le man for 3 years Escorts mk1&mk2 dominated the rally circuits racking up many wins and trophies Sierra cossies dominated the BTCC also winning multiple things Transits have been the best selling, and best overall van for near 40 years Fiesta ST and Focus RS may get beaten in drags but many tv shows and KZfaq reviews state they’d prefer the ford for its ability to put a smile on your face People that say ford are shit and ‘were’ shit are delusional. It may not be as luxury as say a merc or refined as an Audi. But fords are great cars for the price you pay, reliable and some of the new vignale mondeos are on par with the more expensive brands when it comes to quality.
