Ford C-MAX (2010 - 2019) 2.0 TDCi Titanium 5d Powershift Owner Review

There is little to dislike about this car. My previous car being a 2 litre manual was also a C-Max which I chose as a tow car for my caravan. Whilst this one is a 2 litre powershift automatic, I bought it solely on it's age and mileage. I expect the same excellent towing capability from this vehicle. I have never driven an automatic before so I cannot compare this gearbox with another automatic box. However, it is already apparent that it sometimes changes down when you know you would not do so if driving a manual. This can be irritating but there is always the manual over-ride. But even the manual will be over-ridden by the automatic system if you drive too slowly in too high a gear and vice-versa. This is a good point as is the car's ability to crawl at a speed which would require lots of clutch dipping on a manual. Overall, an impressive vehicle whose fuel consumption does not fall far short of the official consumption figures.
