2018 Ford C-MAX Grand 1.5 turbo diesel from Belgium
Summary:
Undecided
Faults:
* One tyre pressure warning (nothing).
* Lambda sensor replaced at 19000.
General Comments:
A lease car from my wife's company. Pretty basic version with the smallest diesel engine (95 HP), "Trend" execution which means not a lot of options available on the car. It drives well though, the small diesel is surprisingly quick off the mark... a lot quicker than my old Scenic. Another good point: the excellent gear box and the sharp steering.
On the downside however, the seats are less comfy than the 2008 Renault. There's also less clever touches, likes stowaway boxes e.g. under the seats, etc. The dashboard looks very 90's and nowhere near the Renault's clear instrumentation. In general also a bit less roomy than the Renault.
Not sure if I'm gonna buy it from the company after 4 years, especially now with the lambda sensor failing after only 19.000 km. Will wait and see.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Update @55.000 km: check engine light on. Turns out to be a faulty particulate filter needing replacement, including sensor. Costly affair at 1400 euro, luckily covered by the leasing company.
