Looks like the diesel is favourite at the moment although I think I'll have to find a petrol to test drive just for a comparison. The 2.0 TDCI sounds nice but we don't really need that performance most of our driving is short runs with an occasional motorway blast.

Hi We're thinking of getting a C-Max soon but can't decide whether to go for diesel or petrol. I've driven the 1.6 diesel version and found it went better than expected although it seemed a bit slow pulling out at junctions occasionally but that may have been me getting used to it. Is the petrol engine just as good or is it going to need loadsa revs to get going? My first thought is to go for the diesel but I'm a bit concerned that there seems to be more posts about diesel problems than petrol. Is the diesel more fault prone or is it just that there are more diesel owners here? Ch
