  • High seating car with low insurance. 28 Feb 2017 (Forum)
    important;">    Ford b-max 1.4 or c-max 1.6. More reliable engine than ecoboost. Reliable seems good for this petrol version.     Hyundai ix20/kia venga.  1.4 petrol is ok. Conventional auto with 1.6 petrol.
  • Focus CVT 21 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    Could be that he is right. I had already drawn my own conclusion by that time, which was that it is strange that Ford would want to keep back the transmission for the Focus, when it is losing sales that it could be making with the C-Max CVT. The latest development is that I received two phone calls last night, from one of the aforesaid salesmen.

  • Tracking or stupidity? Ford Focus 26 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    Hi all, just taken ownership of a Ford Focus 1.8 Ghia. Anyway - been out in it and it\'s a wonderful car - certainly a step up from the Fiesta! My question is perhaps picky but will nag me otherwise. In order to keep the car straight, the wheel is just off by a few degrees.

  • Ford Focus Saloon 2006 - sticking calipers 24 Aug 2012 (Forum)

  • small 6-7 seat MPV - Best used small MPV (£5k - £10k) 4 Aug 2010 (Forum)
      I'd do that again except for the lack of space for all the car seats plus another passenger, so maybe the FRV is the answer (wouldn't even have to be a diesel as the petrol is quite efficient). Ford S-Max looks great, but I'm worried by the reliability - lots of problems reported, which is a shame as Ford reliability has been pretty good in the last 10 years. Advice appreciated.  Thanks, Optimus

  • ford cmx/ Xsara PIcasso/ Other mpv - Dilemna between cars... 6 Feb 2021 (Forum)
    This is what I want: Higher seating position (hence me wanting an MPV, just got rid of my 4x4 which was guzzling fuel) Automatic Reliable Good mpg  Max 3000/3500 pounds I don't do much miles, 8000 max a year so petrol would be best I think.   My choices, after doing some research online seem to be: CMax or Xsara Picasso or Megan Scenic (possibly a model 3) (although I am weary of the fuel consumption of older models)  Definitely no C4 Picasso due to the faulty auto gearbox   I have seen a few cmax (2006-2009) but there seems to be a problem with the suspension arms, a "disease" that costs 500 pounds to repair.
