Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is responsive and fun to drive. My main quibble is that I am tall (6' 4") and cannot find a comfortable driving position that doesn't give me neck and shoulder ache. I also really miss the driver's arm rest that was present in the older focus c-max.
What's it like to park?
Good to have rear sensors. These work well and are definitely needed. Car is quite long.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A sensor failed the day after we bought it, but this was sorted by the dealer who was very embarrassed. Later the back seat folding mechanism failed and was repaired under warranty.
What's most practical about your car?
Very easy to fold seats up and down, including the back row. Also fantastic to have sliding doors in rear for small children in car parks.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sliding doors, separate mirror to observe children from front, heated windscreen.
