The FORD FOCUS C-MAX (2004-07) 5DR MPV 1.8 TDCI 115 ZETEC is a compact, five-door family MPV: taller and roomier than a conventional Focus hatchback, but easier to park than a large people carrier. It sits in the practical used-car market alongside models such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic, offering everyday family space without a bulky feel. The 1.8-litre diesel suits regular commuting and family journeys, with useful pulling power and sensible fuel use for its age. Zetec trim gives this C-MAX a well-equipped, comfortable character, while its flexible cabin and raised seating make loading children, shopping and luggage straightforward. It is best for buyers wanting a versatile, affordable alternative to a small hatchback.
