- One of the most sought-after cars among active, family motorists. Popularity This minivan adds the fact that it is available not only in a five-seater version, also on the market you can meet the seven-west version. In addition to the spacious salon, the car has a fairly interesting design, which was appreciated not only by motorists, but was also awarded the title "Car of the Year" in 2007, and in 2008 it was recognized as the most-selling minivan in Europe. It is worth noting that today the car is in good demand among practical and family motorists, therefore, we have no right to leave this car without attention. And today we will try to find out what kind of typical disadvantages are Ford S-Max with mileage, and what to pay attention to when choosing this car on the secondary market.
A bit of history:
Officially, Ford S-Max was submitted to publish the public in 2006 at the annual international auto show in Geneva. The car was built on a single platform with Ford Galaxy, however, the S-MAX is positioned by the manufacturer as a car that is more oriented on young motorists. Despite similar dimensions with Galaxy, S-Max has more sporting appearance and other chassis settings, as well as a less roomy interior. In 2010, the premiere of the updated version of the vehicle was presented, visually the novelty began to look even more aggressive. Updates touched and interior, also improved electrical equipment. For example, instead of the traditional analog instrument panel (in all versions, in addition to the base), a more modern tidy with a large color display is installed. The assembly of this model is produced at the company's factory, which is located in the city of Genk ( Belgium). The second generation of Ford S-MAX debuted in October 2014 at the auto show in Paris.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Ford S-Max with Mileage
The paintwork is not the highest quality, as a result, with the time the paint can start peeling. Despite this, the metal of the car body is not bad for the onslaught of red-haired disease, but it also has weaknesses. Operating experience has shown that most often corrosion appears on the thresholds, edges of the doors and under rubber sealsAlso, prone to corrosion exhaust system. Often, owners complain about the low quality anti-corrosion coating of the bottom.
Engines
Ford S-MAX can be equipped with the following power units: petrol - 1.6 (160 hp), 2.0 (145 hp), 2.0 "ECOBOOST" (203, 240 hp), 2.3 (160 hp), 2.5 (2.30 hp) ; diesel - 1.8 (100, 125 hp), 2.0 (115, 136,140 and 160 hp) and 2.2 (175, 200 hp). S-MAX with a diesel engine is a rare guest in the secondary market, but, about their reliability can be judged by other models of Ford. Operating experience has shown that this type of engines is quite reliable and economical. The biggest disadvantage of these motors is a small resource of the turbine, it does not exceed 200,000 km. Pattom, choosing a car with a mileage of more than 100,000 km, be sure to check its condition ( cost of a new turbine 400-600 cu).
At TDCI engines fuel system Very sensitive to the quality of the diesel fuel, and, if you refuel the cars on the unverified gas stations, you need to be prepared for the premature replacement of fuel injectors and the sump filter. There may also be problems with the EGR valve and the TNVD. When choosing a car with a mileage of more than 100,000 km, pay attention to the condition of the two-mask flywheel. The first fault signal of the flywheel will be vibration of the gear lever on idling, metal ringing when the ignition is turned off (reminds the chatting muffler b). Also, rare soft twitching cars in a standing position at a low angle are possible.
Gasoline engines are also quite reliable, but, after 100,000 km of run, many of them require a replacement of the engine hydraulic support. If the metallic base is heard when the engine is kept, reminding the flap of valves, check the interface of the intake manifold. If the car suddenly began to start poorly, and also began to swim momentum, most likely it is required to replace the ignition coils (often the coil breaks into crude weather or after washing the engine compartment). Also, the cause of unstable engine operation can serve as a clogged throttle valve. Cars of the first years of release suffer from oils from the threaded plugs of the cooling system channels in the head of the unit. This type of motors is afraid of oil starvation, so you need to constantly monitor the oil level in the engine, otherwise it may be premature to fail the tensioner of the Metal chain of the timing chain (the timing chain goes 200-250 thousand km). 1.6 engine, unlike the rest, is equipped with a timing belt drive, which should be replaced once 80,000 km.
Transmission
Ford S-Max can be equipped with five or six-speed mechanical box Transmissions, six-speed automata and robotic transmissia "PowerShift". In general, the machine gun and mechanics are quite reliable and do not require special attention (The manufacturer declares that all boxes are non-servant). However, many servicemen categorically disagree with this, and recommend changing the oil in the box at least once every 80,000 km. The mechanism of the clutch of mechanics in most cases is causing 120-150 thousand km. Despite this, many specialists do not recommend exploiting it to complete wear, so as not to provoke premature wear of the two-mask flywheel. The reliability of the robotic box is already said very much, unfortunately, it does not have a big resource ( 100-150 thousand km), Therefore, from buying a car with such a transmission, which has a mileage of more than 80,000 km, I would refuse.
Reliability of the running Ford S-Max
Ford S-MAX is equipped with a fully independent suspension - Front McPherson, behind a multi-dimension. Top versions can be equipped with stiffening shock absorbers IDVC., It is worth noting that cars equipped with such racks have a reduced ground clearance. As opened experience, suspension Ford. S-MAX practically does not have weaknesses, as well, you can note the high level of comfort and its endurance. For example, the stabilizer racks are capable of listening to 60-80 thousand km, sleeves - up to 100,000 km. Shock absorbers, support bearings and ball supportsOn average, 100-120 thousand km go. Silent blocks, hub bearings, shells with careful operation can serve 120-150 thousand km.
The rear suspension requires overhaul once every 100,000 km, and due to the abundance of parts, this procedure may seem unexpectedly expensive, also worth noting that due to constructive reads it is necessary to regulate the collapse of the alignment every 20,000 km. Weak place A hydraulic power pump is considered in the steering, the cause of the premature failure of the pump is the enlightenment of the reducing valve. Closer to 200,000 km on most of the instances, repair or replacement of the steering rack is required. The brake pads wear out after 30-40 thousand km, the discs will last 2-3 times longer.
Salon
The quality of the separation materials of the cabin and noise insulation - as on budget car, therefore, many owners have to put up with outsiders and stinks. Plastic of the central console does not have good wear resistance, as a rule, loses its commodity appearance after 5 years of operation. Electronics extremely rarely delivers problems to owners, but only provided that garage coulibins did not intervene in it. It is worth noting that used copies with unauthorized interference in the electronic system of the car in the secondary market is not so little, therefore, in on-board network Different failures may occur, down to the ignition of the main control module. Of the typical sores of the model, you can allocate: Failures in the management of the climate system (wiring damage), refusal to heated windshield and failure of the air conditioner compressor ( before buying, be sure to check its performance).
Outcome:
– reliable car For all occasions, the main thing is not to guess with the choice, and in the future I do not regret money on high-quality "consumables" and fuel.
Advantages:
- Spacious salon.
- Comfortable suspension.
- Low cost service and repair.
Disadvantages:
- Large fuel consumption (gasoline versions).
- The low quality finishing materials of the cabin.
- A small resource of robotic transmission.
To start a little story. In 2002, Ford began producing CD-VEN C-MAX. It turned out a decent car - roomy and at the same time compact. But he was five-seater, but, according to Ford Studies, 50% of those who wish to acquire minivan, they want 6 or 7 local cars. And the Russians - according to Ford marketing research - would like a car a little roomy of a 5-seater C-MAX.
After four years Ford. Brought to the market minivan S-MAX. Theoretically, and it may not have a third row of seats, but this car is a seven. Accordingly, big and cheap. The buyer wanted something smaller.
And because Ford together with the new C-Max decided to produce Grand C-Max: Promotively simple version, but still not so big as S-MAX.
To what extent in the company focused on the needs of the Russian buyer? It is unlikely large. The segment of minivans in our country and in the best times (2004-06) amounted to no more than 2%, and this year it is negligible small - less than 1%. I.e nEW GRAND. C-MAX along with also sold from us S-Max and Galaxy will fight for the market at 15-20 thousand cars per year. And then in perspective.
Competitors Ford Grand C-Max on russian market
Ford marketers made a simple C-MAX solution to us not to deliver - only Grand. The car, the base of which is longer on a very noticeable 14 centimeters, which is higher than a simple C-MAX on a very tangible 5 cm, which is true, optionally - can be seven places.
All the words about the "rapid, sports appearance", "new original style" and "recognition" - leave without comment. For me, so normal car without delights. In the end, not a beauty for the sake of such a car buy. In the assessment of the Exterior of the Grand C-MAX, it is worth paying attention to only one item: this is the first European Ford with sliding rear doors. The design is convenient in the parking lot, really facilitating access to the third row of seats, in general, is extremely practical.
Did you like C-MAX inside? As a spacious family car - yes, of course. It is thought out very detailed. But I would still say unnecessarily in detail. Driver's place - as a pilot or DJ: Buttons on the steering wheel, with which you can manage information on two screens, stealless switches, Central Console "A la mobile phone"It's hard to understand immediately. Several hours behind the wheel did not have enough to get used to it abundance. It remained unanswered and the question: Do I need all this?
What is healthy without any "but": seats folding system. The 7-seater car is easily turning into a 6-seater, and just in a 5-seater. Folding the folding is carried out by one hand, and the developers from Ford it turns out so deftly that it becomes clear: 5-6 attempts and you will do it just as Boyko.
In the basic version of the third row of seats will not be supplied. But as an option he stands in Russia relatively cheap - 23,900 rubles. For me, the price is reasonable, and if you have to carry more than 4 passengers worth spending this money.
Of course, the third row of seats is designed primarily for children. I would say that a person above 160-165 cm on the back chairs will be closed. However, adults are not uncommon ...
Let's go back to the options: in Grand C-Max you can set a lot of everything. For example, a new for European "Fords" system of active assistance during parking. When you look for a free place among the carpenters parked at the curb, two ultraviolet sensors determine whether space is defined to squeeze between the machines. When a place was found, the driver remains only to execute the system teams, adjusting the choice of transfer, gas and brake: the steering wheel will rotate itself.
In the side mirrors Grand C-Max, light indicators that estimate "blind zones" can be installed: from the mirror to a distance of three meters behind the rear bumper, and the width is also 3 meters. Offers a Ford system access to the salon without a key "FordKeyFree", rear view camcorder with navigation system and parking sensors, rear door electric drive ... Of course, a practical possession of these options requires training (experience), even if much in management is understandable at an intuitive level.
The dynamics of Grand C-Max for the family car is quite balanced. Behind the wheel of Ford is nice to be: there are no sensations that drive something cumbersome and smooth. (However, C-MAX is not so long: the usual C-class, 4520 is long). The car has a completely new suspension system, a new electro-hydraulic steering, a thrust control system, redistributing torque between the front wheels for an additional increase in stability when turning turns ...
There was no doubt about the adequate behavior of the car during the test, and the grand c-max noise isolation is simply excellent. The energy intensity of the suspension on French roads to fully check, sorry, failed.
Also, we could not appreciate the entire line of engines. Only one - 140-strong turbo diesel DuratorQ TDCI - joy for family European. Together with automatic box PowerShift. They form a very quiet and not cheerful tandem. However, with a manual box on Ford mountain serpentines, even less liked. Yes, overclocking wobbly, but permanent gear shifts are very tired. Moreover, the legs have to work on the full: pedals in Grand C-Max are very large.
The most interesting motors for Russia are 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline ECOBOOST - 150 and 182 hp Their stated characteristics are really good: the maximum torque is already reached by 1600 turns, fuel consumption in mixed cycle At the 182-strong 6.6 l / 100 km, and the acceleration time is up to 100 km / h 8.8 seconds.
The basic minivan engine in Russia will be "simple" 1.6-liter motor in 125 hp
With him in a rich minimum configuration of Trend with a 5-stamp GRAND C-MAX Manager costs from 799,000 rubles. Second possible equipment - Titanium costs from 872,000 rubles. The number of additional options, as noted above, is huge: to collect a car over a million or even more expensive.
It remains only to understand whether you need such a car. According to Ford statistics, the mid-duty shopper Grand C-Max will be a man of 42 years old, nine out of ten buyers will be family people and most likely this minivan will not be the first car in the family. Is this your portrait? And you just and are part of 1% of Russians, what do you pay attention to such models?
The values \u200b\u200bthat this Ford promotes is very clear and good. A spacious car, with intelligible travel, if necessary, 7-seater and stitched damn what is not tempting? It turns out that not for everyone. There are many of them in Europe. In Russia, most are ready to take the car easier and cheaper. Or spend.
And perhaps the new minivan would not deserve so close attention. But! The C-MAX family is the first cars made at the absolutely new Ford Platform of Class C. According to the manufacturer, it will be the basis for the release of at least ten different models and their versions. Next year will be made new Focus next year. Ford does not hide that many technical solutions and most of the options available on the minivans are moving on the most popular foreign car in Russia. And so Ford Focus They will interest very many.

They are united by the Global Platform S. On this platform, the Fordovians were first built a five-seater C-MAX, and by the end of 2010 added an increased seminal version, named Grand C-Max. By the way, only such a car and took the Russian market. The argument was that our buyers of minivans, family cars prefer to receive the most spacious models, therefore the five-seater short version is simply not interested, there is no sense to sell it here.
Mazdovtsy limited the choice of Russian buyers in a different way. Representing its updated "five" in 2010, they left for our market only one force unit - a 2-liter 144-strong gas engine and the 5-speed "automatic". They explained that the 115-strong 1.8 MZR and a manual box, according to the sales statistics of Mazda5 over the past years, were little in demand, so carrying them anymore.
Replica...
Ford Grand C-MAX is a bright and dynamic car, with a pair of sliding doors and an innovative seating transformation system, provides exceptional capacity and operational flexibility. Designed as part of a single international strategy for the C segment, it best demonstrates the kinetic design, common to our brand, excellent characteristics and advanced technology of the new global platform. Ford Grand C-MAX is the perfect choice for young families.

Mazda5 is primarily intended for families. By buyers of this car, we see those who pay attention not only to the practicality of compact representatives, but also the values \u200b\u200bof our brand: a bright design, good technical characteristics and, naturally, gambling, ordinary for all of our models. We do not lead in the segment, but Mazda5 uses stable demand. Compact holds are partly competing compact engicers, and this pressing affects sales statistics.

The second generation's Zafira debuted in 2005. The car is based on the ASTRA platform. Already in the basic version seven places. The transformation system Flex7 is patented. Actual gasoline engines: 1.6 liters (115 hp), 1.8 liters (140 hp) and 2.2 liters (150 hp). Gearboxes are also three: 5-speed MCPs, robotic Easytronic and 4-speed ACP. Price in Russia - from 684 900 rubles.
The car came out simultaneously with a five-seater C4 Picasso in 2007. Cold based on the C4 hatchback is distinguished by typical French positive qualities - a nontrivial design, good smoothness and silence in the cabin. Choice power aggregates Quite modest. This is a gasoline 1.6 with a capacity of 120, 150 and 155 hp In a pair with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed "robot". Cost in the minimum configuration - from 832,000 rubles.
Built on platform Volkswagen Golf.. Last year survived restyling. In the basic version, this compact Van is a five-seater, for seven seats will have to pay extra as the option 26 940 rubles. The most "youngest" engine used to be gasoline 1.6, now - upgrade 1.2 TSI with a capacity of 105 hp In addition to him there are two more gasoline 1.4 (with a capacity of 140 and 170 hp) and 110-strong diesel 2.0. Transmissions - 6-speed "mechanics" or 7-speed DSG. The price in the Russian market - from 840,000 rubles.
Looked
When these two stand "face to face", it becomes clear how similar they are and how they differ. GRAND C-MAX is 38 mm more than a wheelbase, but at the same time 65 mm less than the overall length of the body. It is 69 mm higher and 78 mm wider. Hence the difference in proportions: next to the Grand C-MAX Mazda5 looks strongly elongated. Front view: Relief arches of wheels, hoods that are coming on wings, tracked and slightly diagonal headlights of head light, wide windows of radiator grilles. But if Mazda5 smiles wide, Ford is growing out of the mouth. According to the back, the Japanese car loses - the designers made the stern too "heavy". But they put on the sidewalls Mazda5 flirty wave-like firewall in the style of the concepts of Nagare and Kazamai.
The interiors of these cars are similar only to transformation capabilities. You open the sliding doors (at Mazda5 also with the electric drive, managed from the driver's seat) - and get into the salon, which can be rebuilt as children's cubes. In the trunk of both machines, folding seats are installed in the floor, on which, if desired, can be rolled even two men with growth and fatness above average (checked). The seats of the second (medium) row, if necessary, not only add up, but also dismantled. There are fasteners for children's chairs, ISOFIX, and plastic folding tables are recentned on the backs of the front seats.
Of course, with an unfounded third-round place in the luggage compartments of both machines, there are quite a bit - only about 60 liters, which is enough for a large suitcase or a pair of small. But at the same time, in the other cabin there are many shelves and containers for storing small things. So you can dial toys on the far path.
The Grand C-Max interior is made in a futuristic key characteristic and for the new Focus III.. The lining for aluminum, the "tricky" steering wheel, the display on the torpedo ... On a background, the interior of Mazda5 looks like an embodiment of healthy conservatism. Although it has its own "chips" - for example, the visor of the instrument panels, resembling a knightly helmet, a red stitch over black skin (for such a salon they take extra charge) ...
Rolled out
That's where the difference! The five-step "automatic" in combination with a 2-liter 144-strong motor gives Mazda5 moderate temperament. With each new passenger, dynamic properties deteriorate, and with full loading of the overtaking salon, it is necessary to plan ahead, without hoping that the engine will take out. " True, the "five" jumps if seven adults in it. With children easier.
The suspension is clearly tuned to comfort: with trifle it copes perfectly, but large potholes need to go around. Steering Also without excessive sharpness - the steering wheel can be swollen, without fear that the car shakes in the next row. In general, some Americanism is noticeable in the behavior of this minivan. It is even manifested in the fact that the car has a nonideal noise insulation (although over it, compared with the previous Mazda5, seriously worked).
Ford C-Max, on the contrary, is one hundred percent European. Under the hood costs 182-strong upgrade EcoBoost, articulated with a 6-speed mechanical transmissionSo the dynamics of this car does not cause much to be desired. The driving pleasure adds a dense suspension that holds the body from noticeable rolls, and a pretty sharp steering. Driving this car, you begin to rejoice, for example, a removed asphalt layer on the street repaired. The slalom between the hatches is fun!
True, enjoy the driver's talents of this car only alone, as even the front passenger at some point gets tired and asks to stop the exercises and go calmly. If there are still people in the cabin, the more in the rear seats, it is better to do not even start to stitch. It does not deliver pleasure.
Mazda designers adhered to classic solutions
Mazda designers adhered to classic solutions
In general, it's hard to say confidently, what temperature is suitable family car. Someone believes that the compactment must be dynamic, since a high speed means safety with the same overtakes, and that dads and mothers need to be able to go as they want - at least when children in kindergarten or school and need to rush to work. And someone will objected that this is an excess option, the main thing is space and comfort.
Amterate
With Mazda5 everything is simple. On the Russian market she has only one power unit. The car in the minimum configuration Touring is estimated at 954,000 rubles. Another 13,000 will have to pay extra for the "metallic", and the car with side doors with electric drive, toned glass, rain sensors, light, parking sensors and cruise control will cost 1,004,000 rubles. The expensive set of Active already has all these sensors and systems in the "base" and costs from 1,038,000 rubles. Externally differs in the silver grid of the radiator, xenon headlights and 17-inch wheels. The same car, but with a leather upholstery of the cabin, costs 1 108,000 rubles.
In the life of each man there comes a period when children appear, and emotions with testosterone must give way to reason. As a rule, all this leads to one solution - to purchase a wagon or MPV. Fortunately, not all these cars are boring and unparalleled in management. One of the most unique compactners is Ford C-Max. Its design is possible not as attractive as the larger Ford S-MAX, and rather resembles a slightly enlarged Ford Focus II. But after a long communication with the car, he undoubtedly begins to like.
History of the model
Ford Xa Max of the first generation debuted in 2003. It was the first such car in the brand assortment. Two years later, companktvan received several new engines, and in 2007 the model has undergone a small restyling. In 2010, the assembly conveyor left the last copy of the first generation C-Mah, giving way to the successor.

Everything petrol aggregates Reliable and durable. Best recommendations Any 2-liter engine capacity of 145 hp He is able to deliver the greatest driving pleasure.
True, at 1.8 and 2.0, the vortex flaps in the inlet are trimmed. First they begin to make noise. In the worst case, they can break down and get into the engine. And at 1.6 Ti-VCT sometimes refuse phasegulators.
For lovers of diesel engines on the market, there will also be suggestions, although not numerous. In the general list of possible problems of such engines at number, this currently is not too hardy two-mask flywheel. Its resource is a little more than 150,000 km, but it changes with the clutch kit. Everything will be needed about $ 600.
The most preferred option with 2.0 TDCI, which provides good dynamics and demonstrates a high level of reliability. Instead of capricious nozzles Delphi, piezoellic VDO / Siemens are installed here. Nozzle malfunctions are usually caused by non-mechanical wear, but by failures in the operation of electronics. However, such cases are single.
Until 2005, a 2-liter turbodiesel corresponded to euros of euro 3, and after - euro 4. The engine standard can be found in a VIN-code or a sticker in the engine compartment. If the code begins with DW10B, it meets the Euro-4 standard if the letter "B" is missing, then Euro-3. In some markets, the motor equipped with a smbed filter, and on others - no.
2.0 TDCI Sometimes forces it to face oil leaks through the glands, which is destroying for the timing belt. Problems with the ruble valve EGR were solved by changing the kinematics of the valve and the management program.
Instances from 1.6 TDCI should be avoided - turbocharger malfunction (due to the constructive drawback in the lubrication system) and oil leakage. Both diesel engines are designed together with concern PSA.. The overall disadvantage is a system for cleaning exhaust gases and a solid particle filter.
The list of proposals is present and 1.8 TDCI Own Ford Design. Against the background of French diesel engines, he looks like a pensioner - even the head of the block is cast from cast iron. The dynamics of the car with such a motor a little better than the base diesel version with 1.6 TDCI. The reason is in software control, the main goal of which is concern for ecology. Among characteristic faults You can select problems with the injection system, cracking the rubber elements of the intake channel and regular oil leaks (from under the timing circuit cover and connections to the upper and lower part of the unit). However, 1.8 TDCI has a durable combined throtter (eternal chain + short strap) and a hardy turbocharger.
Constructive features
The model was based on a completely new platform, which was subsequently used when creating Ford Focus II. On the front axis, McPherson racks work, and on the rear - multi-dimensional design. As the microvaine, C-MAX has a drive only on the front wheels.
The transmission of torque corresponds to 5 and 6-speed mechanics or a 4-range automatic.
In 2008, in combination with 2.0 TDCI, an automated transmission with double clutch Powershift manufactured by GetRag was offered. However, this box is better to avoid, because even new she often delivered problems. Failures were usually associated with mechatronized and clutch.
1.6 TDCI since 2004 was combined with an alternative variator Durashift CVT. The term of his service did not exceed 150,000 km, and the repair is very expensive.
Ford Si Max 1 From the very beginning offered two versions of the parking brake - a classic lever with a mechanical drive and a more complex electromechanical. The latter is a relatively cheap solution in which servomotors are not used in calipers, as in Audi or Volkswagen. C Max has one large servomotor, which pulls the cables. The electromechanical brake was relied on only more equipped versions for an additional fee.
Typical problems and malfunctions
Ford Si-Max is one of the least problematic models not only in the range of brands, but also among cars in general. The suspension is strong enough. As a rule, after 80-100 thousand km, it is necessary to change only the little things (racks and stabilizer bushings). However, the situation is complicated by the roads of poor quality, which significantly reduces the life of the silent blocks of levers. Repairs rear suspension Completes corrosion of threaded connections. Nevertheless, it will not require too much maintenance costs.
No durability starter and generator - often require repair. In addition, there are refusals of the electrohydraulic pump of the steering amplifier ($ 300). Sometimes the parking sensors and electric parking brake fail. Sometimes it ceases to function and ABS with ESP (due to sensors or an ABS control unit).
Ford C Max Owners complain about low performance: creak plastic interior elements and door seals. In the latter case, the regular lubricant saves or replacing the seals to new ones. It grips and the quality of the basic upholstery of the chairs, which is very easy to dump. Traces remain even after the raindrop droplets inwards through the open door or the window. It is not difficult to guess how the upholstery will look like rear seatsIn which several years transported children. Plastic trunk walls is too gentle and easily scratched.
Sometimes it fails to the instrument shield - the arrow of the pointers remain on zero, and the various alarms lightly light up. Several options were used dashboard. The new shield is quite expensive repair repair Noticeably cheaper.
One of the serious disadvantages of diesel versions is a low-efficient heating system. Unfortunately, Ford serially not installed an autonomous salon heater.
As for protection against corrosion, the C-Max is better protected than the first focus or third mondeo. However, on the background of rivals, corrosion resistance is not exemplary. On old instances, you should carefully check the status of the thresholds, the bottom of the doors and the rear wheeled arches.
Conclusion
Despite the minor drawbacks of Ford C-Max good car With a superbly tuned suspension and accurate steering. It is possible that it is not so spacious as competitors, but according to controllability it is perhaps one of the best class representatives. Another advantage is high reliability (gasoline versions). Mastering can concern places not the best quality of some elements, especially in the interior. The cheapest samples of the first years of release today can be purchased, approximately for 200-250 thousand rubles.

The second and current account, at the moment, the Ford S-Max generation saw the light in 2015.
