Robyn This probably doesn't affect the matter of luggage capacity, but I saw a review of the new model C-Max today. Both the sporty but spacious five-seater and the Grand, a versatile seven-seater, come with a simplified two-series line-up — Zetec and Titanium. The luggage space is tall, so cases can stand upright or be laid flat. The petrols are smooth and quiet, but only make sense if you do most of your driving around town. Among the optional safety systems are emergency city braking, blind spot assist, lane assist as well as traffic sign recognition. As for real-world figures, we managed to eke 48mpg out of the 2. Anyhow here is the link to the tech spec.
It is incredibly comfortable and you feel very well isolated from any bumps in the road, making it ideal for keeping sleeping kids asleep on long journeys. I hope there's somebody in Fodorland who has rented it or maybe even owned one to shed some light on the trunk space dimensions. Then again, even the basic Zetec models come with everything you need for family life and the Titanium X makes the car quite luxurious. You can read the review at. Cubby holes are littered everywhere — even in the roof — and each door compartment can hold a 1. A redesigned centre storage console offers more space and features a sliding, integrated armrest.
Beneath the multi-purpose exterior lurks the chassis of a truly excellent car - it might be lofty and top heavy, but the chassis more than compensates, with extraordinarily good body control and truly rewarding steering. This enables Ford EcoBoost technology to deliver the strong low-end torque and responsive performance of a large capacity engine, but with the size, weight and fuel economy of a much smaller unit. There will be two separate C-Max models. The system also can prevent the driver from deactivating safety technologies such as Traction Control. The washer jets have been hidden underneath the windscreen to complement the cleaner look of the restyled bonnet. It was easy to drive on rural roads, and only the narrowest of city streets would be a problem. That said, the boot space is easy to access and a good shape.
Far from it, in fact. That's not to say it's not worth it, but it's something to remember. For running around town and city, the 1. With the rear seats in situ, the boot space is limited, but the occasional nature of those chairs means they can be folded flat into the boot floor, leaving plenty of room for the dog, the luggage and the kitchen sink. Therefore you can see that a higher list price than some of its rivals doesn't mean that it is going to cost you thousands to run every year.
Many Italian families have cars of a similar size. The diesel returns 45mpg while the larger petrol-engined Galaxies return 28mpg. ParisA'dam: what a great picture link you have for me! Ribeira: we reserve 2 types of cars but we prefer not to drive a big tank through the small villages I tried opening your link and tried simpler versions of your link but no success. Because the rear seats are not adjustable, as is the case with other vehicles of a similar size, the best way to get extra space is to fold them forward — or follow the fiddly process of removal.

For example; when cornering at lower speeds, the system will project a beam towards the side of the road to make cyclists and pedestrians more visible. Thanks to Ford's lengthy history in building and selling cars, there are many excellent finance deals around, many of which are at 0%, and that really does help with the purchase price. Functions are simpler to use, such as the air-conditioning controls that now feature buttons that are easier to recognise and distinguish from each other. To maximise the versatility of the 7-seat layout, Ford engineers have developed an ingenious new seat folding mechanism for the three second-row seats. Carrying on with the theme, the driver of a C-Max could be forgiven for thinking they had actually purchased a Focus, were it not for the increased headroom. Overall, in fact, this is a practical car.
The Grand C-Max is based on the regular C-max with an extra two flip seats in the boot. All of the folding mechanisms are designed so that they require just one hand to operate. The more intuitive layout has fewer controls and switches, while the new black satin trim and chrome detailing contributes to a cleaner, more modern look. Lifestyle As family cars go, the C-Max and Grand C-Max represent the perfect formula. Ford has positioned the C-Max between the multi-award-winning Focus and its namesake big brother the Grand C-Max.
Some more modern Fords are a little smarter inside than the Grand C-Max, but the materials used throughout are generally high-quality. All these cars have a cover over the luggage space.
