Made me get into the car (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

formed

'made' is the definition.
(forming is a kind of making)

'me get into the car' is the wordplay.
'get into' indicates putting letters inside.
'the car' becomes 'ford' (Ford is a make of car).
'me' placed into 'ford' is 'FORMED'.

(Other definitions for formed that I've seen before include "Shaped" , "Moulded or constructed" , "Made" , "Gave shape to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
