We had the previous model C-Max. When we bought it we tried 2 non-turbo petrols and a diesel.
The 1.6 petrol was dreadful. A real waste of space. A colleague of the wife actually bought one and hated it after a 1.3 Ka.
1.8 petrol was fine but unfortunately its not available now.
We bought the 1.6 diesel since we did a fair few miles at the time.
When we swap later this year the C-Max will be back on the list, its due for a cosmetic update soon. Its the wifes car and now she's retired we don't do as many miles and will be going back to petrol after almost 20 years of turbo diesels.
Would not even consider the 1.6 non-turbo but the newer 1.5 petrol turbo will be available and that has much better economy than the 1.6 turbo, close to the 1.0 in the real world in the Focus, its top of our list.
Bought our last car from Carfile and would go back there again with no hesitation.
