• Should I buy a small car? 6 Sep 2014 (Forum)
    I am tempted to buy a cheap petrol run around and leave the S-max in the drive unless I have further to go and need my SatNav, Bluetooth etc etc. If I spent £1,000 am I being sensible?  I want short and narrow so an old boxy Daihatsu springs to mind.....

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 06 2.0 Zetec petrol auto, steer clear or buy? 19 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Ive just been for a test drive this weekend in a 06 c-max 2.0 petrol auto,20,000mls. Years ago I had a auto fiesta that was nothing but trouble and was told by garage, gearbox was on its way out (at 25,000) and have stuck to a Renault ever since! But thinking times have changed I went for a drive in the c-max and thought it was great, paid my 500.00 deposit .. until I read loads of reviews that have honestly made me go grey with worry!
• Ford Focus C-Max 2.0TDCi 2004 - Reversing lights dont come on 3 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Ok, so my C-Max has quite a few issues ... One of them which will cause some grief one day is the fact that the reversing lights don't come on when selecting reverse gear. Apart from this the rear lights work fine.
• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 04 1.6 can't hear indicators 23 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Hi Just bought a Focus (C-max) and one of the very few disappointments is that if the window is open more than half an inch or if the radio is on more than half a decibel, I can't hear the click of the turn indicators from the dashboard.
• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 1.6 TDi auto - oil problem 12 Nov 2007 (Forum)

• Focus C-Max: good buy? 3 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I'm attracted by the low prices of the C-Max on the Ford Direct web site - under £13k for a 9-month old 2.0tdci ghia for example (nearly £19k list). They look good cars - is there a catch, beyond the obvious depreciation that Fords/Vauxhalls always suffer?
• New Ford Focus 13 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  My family and I may visit today a local showroom - i phoned and was adsvised to make an appointment - my feeling is that it is under cover in the showroom. They have the Ghia version. Does the car have the same TDCi engines and CVT as the FF-C Max? The CVT in the c-max has not been built for months and honest dealers are not accepting orders. Will the new Focus have the same problems as the c-max? Not sure if we will have time to visit today - but certainly visit by next week - will post my findings here.

• Focus C-Max 2.0Tdci? 30 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Very tempted by the local Ford offer of a new C-Max 2.0 Tdci Ghia in silver at £12995. Reports seem mixed -good build quality and nice to drive. Lots of room and well equipped and should be nippy. On the down side the cabin is a bit narrow and I'm told economy isn't great.
• Need a car with high seating. 12 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  Having looked at what is on offer I have narrowed my choices down to:- My favorite - Ford galaxy/s-max 2.0 diesel. Trouble is for my budget I am looking at cars with 100k+ miles on the clock. Would like the titanium because it comes with cruise control. New shape Mazda 5. Did have one when they came out, a 1.8 petrol.
• Ford B-MAX - 1.0 Ecoboost B-Max as a second car - thoughts? 16 Dec 2017 (Forum)
    We’re all quite tall in the family (3 of us over 6 feet), so whilst we’re looking for a small car, it can’t be too small!   A Ford dealer that we’re thinking of buying another vehicle from has offered us a good deal price-wise (according to the HJ checker), on a 15 plate Ford B-Max Ecoboost 1.0.  On the surface this seems to tick a lot of boxes: - A fairly economical engine, that has performance when needed - No DPF, Powershift auto etc. to worry about - The taller body and sliding doors are better for tall people - Cheap VED - Decent reviews   However, it has been on his forecourt for 6 months, after he took it in part-ex.
