We've been asked by Ford to find five MNers and their families willing to have a three week extended Christmassy test drive in the Ford car of their choice, to make a video review and to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. This follows on from the recent C-MAX, Grand C-MAX, Focus and KUGA test drives

As this is for the car of your choice....you can take your pick from the range - have a read below and pick the car which best suits your family and lifestyle

Maybe you will choose the....
Fiesta - "Reliable, safe, good fuel economy - perfect for a smaller family"
Galaxy - "Large, safe with removable seats - great for a large family"
or Mondeo Estate - "Spacious, with a large boot - ideal for families with pets"

Or how about:

KA
Fusion
Focus
Focus Estate
C-MAX
Grand C-MAX
Kuga
Mondeo
S-MAX

You can read all about the cars by visiting the Ford website

If you'd like to test drive a Ford car, please read on, especially the conditions:

You can use the car for anything (legal) - but you will need to pay for any fuel you use, as well as any parking permits or parking/traffic fines.

Insurance will be arranged as long as you:-

~ are aged 25 or over
~ have had a full driving licence for three years or more and
~ have no convictions for dangerous driving.

What will test drivers need to do?
If selected, you would need to be able to offer feedback about the car on Talk at least twice a week for the duration of the three week test plus a final round up of your thoughts.

We will also be asking you to use the video camera provided to film yourself reviewing the car with your family plus we'll need a photo of you with the car and some details about you and your family. All footage, photos and information may be shown on Mumsnet and potentially used by Ford elsewhere.

Timetable
The test drive will take place starting w/c 19th Dec - and will last for three weeks (until w/c 2nd Jan) - meaning you can enjoy the car over the Christmas and New Year period.

Please only apply if you are around and able to test the car as well as add your feedback. Please note the car can not be taken out of the UK

If selected your name and contact details would be passed to the team at Ford who would make arrangements to deliver the car on a convenient day and time to suit you.

If you're interested in taking part please sign up by clicking here.

If you're selected for the test drive and add feedback as required on Mumsnet, you will receive £100 of John Lewis vouchers. If you haven't heard from us by December 9th, we're sorry but you haven't been selected this time.

Thanks and good luck
