Byr0n Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Interesting, maybe everyone who ownes a manual is happy and kept them hence why there are none on the second hand market available? Still doesnt answer why websites such as Parkers/WhatCar have no details of the manual though. In fact the review on WhatCar states: The 1.6-litre petrol engine with 98bhp is fine for driving in town, but will struggle when the car is fully laden and on fast roads. The 1.8-litre model with 123bhp is sprightly, and the 143bhp 2.0-litre comes only with an automatic gearbox.

Byr0n Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just found your car details on Parkers website - http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/ford/focus-c-max/estate-2003/36482/ Although the review only talks only of the 2.0L Diesel - The 2.0-litre - with 142bhp is the most powerful petrol engine in the line-up and has plenty of overtaking punch plus, thanks to a six-speed gearbox, cruises effortlessly. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/ford/focus-c-max/estate-2003/driving-performance/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMaz Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have drawn their attention to that What Car article, so I will see what they say. My C-MAX doesn't have a 6 speed gearbox, so I wonder if that is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byr0n Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think the diesels have 6 speed boxes on them and the autos have 4 speed. Dont see your 5 speed mentioned anywhere The only reference i can find to yours is here - http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/ford/focus-c-max/estate-2003/36482/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMaz Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I was just comparing the figures between my 2.2 16v Vectra and the 2.0 16v C-Max... makes interesting reading! C-MAX - 142Bhp Vecta - 144Bhp C-MAX 0 to 60 - 9.5 secs Vectra 0 to 60 - 9.8 secs C-MAX - 38MPG Vectra - 30MPG Both are insurance group 21. C-Max has cheaper tax due to (much) lower emissions. I'm pleasantly surprised that many of the stats are comparable, yet the C-MAX has the smaller engine, is heavier and still makes it to 60 before the Vectra and using less fuel!

jeebowhite Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thats why CMAX's are becoming more popular on some police forces (Kent has at least one I am aware of and I believe I have seen two other unmarked and without lights...).
