2004 Ford Focus C-MAX LX review from UK and Ireland
"A really good all round performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had is a loss of power following a service a pipe had detached on the turbo. It took me 5 minutes to fix. Other problem is hub caps on the front keep coming off (I now use plastic ties)
General comments?
From day one the car has performed very well. For a diesel it has loads of power which came as a surprise as I didn't think diesels could produce the grunt this car has. When driving with the windows down at very slow speed it sounds like a tractor, but eccelerate and it soon brings a smile to your face. Inside is exceptionally roomy and has more leg room than I need at 6Ft 4in tall.
