| Contrà´le technique |
| C-Max is Ford's creditable first attempt at a compact MPV. The only question is why the long wait? Focus has been around for years; but by waiting, Ford were able to use the underpinnings of the new 2005 Focus, making C-Max an excellent drive. Unlike rivals Zafira and Touran, C-Max only has five seats. There's plenty of room for five adults; rear seats fold and remove individually to give good adaptability; and the boot is big. It rides smoothly, there's not much body roll, and noise levels are low. Creature comforts and safety needs are well looked after; there are lots of airbags and generous equipment includes air conditioning on all but basic Studio models. Engines are 1.6 and 1.8 Zetec petrol units from Focus - willing and quite economical - plus a pair of newly developed turbodiesels, 1.6 with 108 bhp and 2.0 with 134bhp. The latter is very lively and can give 50mpg. |
