Driven by You by Brian May was from an early Ford Mondeo advert. Don't ask me how I know this.

I don't think it was a specific Ford Mondeo advert, i think it was for the Ford brand in general. I remember there was a Ford Granada in it!

Either the Windowlicker remix on the Mercedes ad, as stated by Freak, above, or possibly Boards of Canada "Kid For Today" from the BMW 7 Series advert (the one where the car is at the bottom of an empty swimming pool and a woman dives off a diving board and swims/floats around the car). Great stuff!

Also Ford Sport Ka ad. with Tricky - Black Steel
