Ford C-max Ii-first Impressions

By:


This is the second generation of Ford C-MAX which occurred on the market in 2002. Now for the first time, however, this model will be also available in the US. And there is one more thing-for the first time in second generation the version with 7 seats occurred -it is also called Ford Grand C-MAX. Especially in the U.S there will not probably be a model with 5 seats and the addition Grand may be omitted. The car will simply be C-MAX with seven seats and some changes in the front bumper and the lights-in this way it meet the requirements of the U.S. federal authorities.
The overall development of the car was made by Ford of Europe and the model is more European than American. This is preserved in the second generation of Ford C-MAX.
What we can notice in the interior of the car is the quality workmanship and the use of better-quality and soft when touching material of which the dashboard was made. The center console is very stylish, on it are located the buttons for control over the multimedia system. The seats are comfortable and support well the body but there is no tilt regulation of the lower part of the drivers seat. Another disadvantage is the small size of the navigation screen-only 5 inches (12.7 cm). Overall, the board is filled with many elements of aluminum and looks pretty sporty. The car offers plenty of space for storage of various sizes, which is needed for a practical family car. The seats of the second and third rows can be folded or removed completely from the car. Although the middle row seats can slide forward, the places of the third row are only for very weak people or children. It is best to consider that the version with seven seats is for five people, but if needed there is an opportunity for two more seats to be used. The access to the trunk is very convenient as there is a version with fifth automatic door. But if the 7 seats are full, there remains less space in the trunk and the passenger should be without luggage. The greatest comfort for the rear seat passengers is the sliding rear doors, which are innovation for the model.
In Europe, the mini-van is available with EcoBoost petrol engines with power of 150 hp and 180 hp. The brake system is changed and is better than that in the present generation. The transmissions are well-known-mechanics and auto with 5 and 6 degrees.
