Ford Focus C-MAX (2003 - 2010) 1.6 LX (115ps) 5d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Grey man. Absolutely nothing special.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They feel sorry for me on account it's only been working for 3 of the 12 days i've owned it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes if i win the lottery and want to burn a pile of them in protest.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another BMW maybe a VW. Not a ford.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

No I was "seen off" massively. Even for just 1500 pounds.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Required an mpv for family.

What was the dealer like?

Useless. He refused to accept liability for my countless problems and his best advice was call the RAC.

What's it like to drive?

Cheap, flimsy and slow. But good view of the road and very comfortable.

What's it like to park?

Good although parking sensors wouldn't go amiss. Good all round, high up view.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I have owned the car for 2 whole weeks now and have managed an incredible 200 miles on account of several problems including DPF and engine management problems, fuel filter gone, glow plugs gone, fuel gauge stopped working. Oh and washer jets packed in too...... and two bulbs went........ and huge oil leak from head. I think that's about it.

What's most practical about your car?

When you brake down it rolls quite nicely and the steering is so light it's manageable with the engine cut out and no power steering. Great boot space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Lx model has nothing. Stereo sounds reasonable.
