The FORD FOCUS C-MAX (2004-07) 5DR MPV 1.6 100 LX is a compact five-door family MPV, offering a taller, more flexible alternative to a conventional Focus hatchback. It sits among practical mainstream people-carriers of its era, competing with models such as the Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Zafira. Its manageable size makes it easier to park and thread through town than many larger family vans. The 1.6-litre 100 LX is a straightforward choice for everyday family duties, school runs and commuting, and suits buyers wanting a roomy, uncomplicated used car rather than a large SUV.
