In their own words

I bought a BMax 1.0 Titanium after back problems caused me to change from my Focus. I loved the Focus and how it drove, but the BMax has surpassed my expectations, it's very comfortable, very economic, very easy to drive with a great high driving position, very practical with that excellent side door arrangement and very well equipped for my needs. Yes the sliding doors can be heavy, but they are so useful in tight car park spaces and make loading very easy indeed. It could also do with a six speed gearbox at times (my Focus had one with the same 1.0 ecoboost engine, so don't know why Ford didn't put it in the BMax), as I'm sure the economy would have been even better. As it is, I generally average 55-60 mpg. This is seriously one of the nicest cars I've ever had, and I've no qualms about recommending it. It's a shame they've replaced it as I would definitely buy another later model if I could.

How reliable do you find the car?

Apart from q problem with the front windscreen wash pump which was easily fixed, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car.
