Anyone driven a Grand C-max ecoboost?

[Rob P]

Pondering the next family wagon for the Mrs, these seem to get a good write up.

The standard c-max is too small and the s-max too big so this seems the ideal size.

Anyone driven one? Particularly interested in the ecoboost, the 1.6 turbo petrol.

I bought one 6 months ago, although got the 2.0 diesel rather than the 1.6 ecoboost. I am very happy with the car, drives great, seating very versatile, lots of good gadgets and gimmicks. You wouldn't want to carry 7 adults very far in it but we have 5 year old twins and they love going in the back row. There's loads of room for them and with the centre seat in the second row folded away (which is really handy and very clever) they can get in and out themselves and we can travel long distances with 4 adults and two kids comfortably.

Fuel economy is nothing like as good as advertised (but that seems to be the case with all new cars these days as far as I can tell)

Hope this helps
