We want the Ford C-Max. We have succeeded in the form of diesel, seven seats and the brother appears on the road sense. Here we tested a new 124bhp 1.6-liter gasoline engine coupled to a standard five-speed manual gearbox.
How does it feel?
This is probably one of the biggest sellers, but it is certainly appealing as one of the cheaper models in the series, the £ 1,000 less than equivalent to 1.6 turbo diesel, gasoline, or more powerful model EcoBoost. And in practice it is very comfortable little hum City v In fact, in urban areas where it really shines as a great delicacy is really appreciated.
The ride quality on a standard 17-inch wheels are very decent - smoother over bumps and settled on the turbulent surface of the current meeting. Plus, with a lighter engine in the nose but has a sharper turn and feels smoother than diesel.
But if you have plans for many miles of highway oil burner, it is a go. At higher cruising speed, the C-MAX has naturally aspirated time and patience for overtaking, the engine is also abuzz when asked to run at such high speeds. Otherwise it is thoroughly likeable car.
Should I buy?
If you want something a little more space than the Focus or Golf, and used a lot of time in the city is a decent choice. It is comfortable, quiet, comfortable and well equipped. There is plenty of competition at this price, so think carefully about whether high coverage for you as the full-size buildings are available at this price, but if the utilitarian brand fits your lifestyle, then C-Max does not disappoint.
