Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6 TDCi Zetec 5d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought nearly new so quite pleased. Over-priced when new.
Costs
First service was reasonably priced.I'll be needing four new tyres soon though. It came with Continentals, they add something to the vehicles looks. I'm a bit hacked off though as I expect more than 19,000 miles from a set of tyres.

On the road
Driving
Drives like a car. Not much body roll.
Performance
What I expected. Plenty of oomph low down. A bit raucous above 90mph.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems as yet. Just received recall notice for water ingress into rear wiper housing.
Image
Looks good for this class of vehicle
Comfort
Okay. I've gone off the seats though. I'm quite broad in the back and the lateral support is too firm.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Some engine hesitation and two instances of power drain when on the motorway. Revs just fell away and I had to make my way to the hard shoulder. Switch-off, restart and it was if nothing had happened.
Other
Clock is seven hours fast and I can't adjust it even following instructions in the handbook. False low fuel level warning.
