2008 Ford C-MAX reviews

Ford C-MAX 1.6 tdci 2008

What a revelation. Great build quality. Great to drive. Great economy. I used to have a Mazda 5 which was great for a people carrier but the interior was "plastic fantastic" with cheap hard plastics every where you looked and touched. It crashed over bumps and the engine noise was horrific on any speed above 65mph. So back to the C-Max, a super car which is great for the family, cheap to insure and tax with low running costs and great to drive. ONLY get the diesel version, I had the 1.8 petrol before, but diesel drives like a different car with less noise at motorway speeds (the petrol should have had six speed box). I’d never owned a Ford before, but how things have changed. Very close to Germanic build quality. I have owned the car for two years now with no problems and average 44 mpg on 90% urban driving. I have achieved 65 mpg on the motorway at 70 mph.
