Here's a set of eye-opening results. Ask any Ford salesman why you should choose the C-MAX over a standard Focus, and he'Â’ll point out the spacious interior and comfortable accommodation for the whole family. But you say thatÂ’'s not the case. At 31st in the practicality chart, the C-MAX only just finished in front of the Focus, while you tell us the hatch is more comfortable than the compact MPV. Reliability is also poor. A facelifted model is about to go on sale –– it can'Â’t come soon enough.
