The C-Max is Fords entrant into the mid range MPV market where it sits just under the S-MAX - It's a great car. The C-Max is based on the Mk2 Focus chassis and it shares that cars remarkable dynamism.
The C-Max is a drivers car. The ride is a bit knobbly at times and the interior can feel cheap but, in terms of driving dynamics, nothing in the class comes close. Good accommodation for five and very cheap.
The C-Max is a clear case of petrol over diesel. Whilst the diesel engines are good (especially the smooth, frugal 2.0) the petrol cars are so much cheaper you'd be mad not to pick them. The extra money get's you plush Ghia spec and over £1500 in change.
Go for a 2.0 auto in Ghia spec. The absolute best car for the Urban family. Supremely capable on the school run. Pay over £2000 more for a less refined diesel if you must.
Pay £7000 for a 3 year old 2.0 petrol automatic. One of the great used car bargains.
Initial depreciation on a petrol C-Max is as savage as it gets. Wait 3 years unless you like giving money away. Give it to charity instead if you must.
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Ford C-Max you would aim to buy a 3 year old and you can keep it for some time before needing to worry about a big drop in value.
Diesel Ford C-Max cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best ‘nearly new’ buy in terms of car for money.
Diesel Ford C-Max cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Diesel Ford C-Max cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.
