• Any - Alternatives 15 Sep 2024 (Forum)
  It would be a sort of interim car as the dogs are getting on (12 & 13) though the height of the boot isn't really an issue as we have a flexiramp.  Budget is up to 6k & cars l've got in mind are: 1. Ford Focus 1.6 estate 2. Vauxhall Astra 1.6 estate 3. Ford C Max 1.6 4. Suzuki SX4 - S-Cross 1.6 (not many nearby) All above manual transmission. Would need to be fairly local (30 miles of WV16 post code)  Alternative suggestions welcome.

• Ford C-MAX - Ford Cmax wobble under acceleration 24 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  I have a 2007 Ford C-Max 2.0 petrol Automatic.   It has a wobble but only on acceleration.  You feel it through both the accelerator pedal and through the floor in either of the front seats.  As you ease off the throttle the wobble goes away and the car will cruise along nicely.
