&gt; Ford makes them though, but only in Europe, and they are not particularly strong in diesel at that<p>I disagree, certainly from a UK perspective.<p>Most modern Ford diesel engines are the product of the collaboration between Ford, Citreon and Peugeot [0][1].<p>Ford diesel Focus and Mondeo&#x27;s are hugely popular and are quite reliable, reasonably sporty and fuel efficient things. My dad&#x27;s last three Fords (Focus, Mondeo then Focus) were all diesels and he loved them.
