I Loke the looks of the new disco. Too pricey for me. As for the x type - the missuz has always wanted a jag and I liek them too. THe boys on the jag forum claim they are good too. As with anything the early cards had issues, but the newer ones are better. I am told that 2002 was when things got better. We'll see.

he he. Presently the new car is at the top, its a Jag X-Type 3.0 Sport just turned 3. Pick it up Friday. After that it would be... Impreza RB5 - Great fun but kicked me in the nads and stole my wallet every other day. Octavia vRS - Fabulous car - Great performace, practicality & Build. Impreza Sport Special - Yellow! VW Jetta. My first car and it was great. Pug 305 D Turbo - The squashed one (P reg) Impreza Sport - '98 model C-Max. Probably not as bat I currently think. I may mellow on it in the future but riught now it has dissapointed me. Vectra - 1.8 LS on an N plate. Woe.

I squashed one so that doesnt count I suppose.

I bought my c-max over a scenic etc because I prefered its looks and liked the reviews claiming car like superior handling & driving. Well, I'm sure your all happy with yours but mines going after less than 5 months. I liked the styling and the engine. But overall stupid niggles are letting it down... 1. Seat belt. Why oh why does mine always jam and not retract properly every time I lean forward. 2. Economy. Started off with a 38 mpg average which improved to 42 after a recall fix. Still lame for a diesel even if it is a 2,0 one. A golf driver at works gets nearer 50 with ease in hi

Thats it. Its going in as a part ex for £8,200. No one else wants it which is hardly surprising given their faults. Its the worst care ive ever owned and ive had 7 in the last 7 years!! Oh well.

discomax - thats not exactly helping my sale chances!! I'm not buying another ford. We tied t be senible after the scoob and the vrs but I cant cope so its back to something a but more exciting for me. Part ex I have been offered 8,200. So I owuld see to anyone offering a decent amount more than that and able to pay up soon.

Thanks. It would be a shame to part ex it. I'm kinda impatient tho, so and waiting to sell this will keep me from its replacement. WOuld be a bargain for someone based on my autotrader reaserch.

Hi. Looking to shift my C-Max. Is an 2003 53 plate 2.0 TDCI car in zetec trim, with just 14,000 miles. Imaculate condition and has bever had kids or prts it the back. Full fort service history.

£4 is quite cheap. May order som in the new year. Just pull off do they?

I had a new focus yesterday as a hire car. Thraped the conkers off it. It was 1.6 petrol zetec. Interior was terrible compared to cmax. Front felt cramped and I couldnt get the seat/steering wheel / pedals position right. Plastics were hard and hollow sounding - cheap. Oval vents are nasty. Boot shallow and small. 1.6 engine was gutless and lost pull early in the rev range. Would not have one over a cmax or a competitor to be honest. Had clear side repeaters tho, was temped to heave them off and swap for my orange ones - wonder if they would notice! Can we order clear lenses now as a

Is it me or does the c-max have like the heaviest clutch in the world? My leg aches in traffic! Drove a new Focus yesterday and that had a feather light clutch. Was a 1.6 petro tho.

The car in the picture is a 2005 model - see the indicators in the wing mirrors. Defo not the car he is selling as its a 2004.

I had an octavia for 2 years before the c max, every service was cheap, the reliability coulnt be faiulted and the service from the dealers was second to none. In 45,000 miles i never once had a service as expensive as the 25,000/2nd year service my c-max is about to have. Towards the end tho there were a few rattles creaking in and the paint quality dissapointed but thats all. Subaru do well because people who buy them tend to be enthusiasts. The 3 impreza's I had before the skoda ll had many faults and iritations, but if I could have any one of the cars ive ever owned again it would be

i might buy a job lot and sell em on the bay for £3 profit each he he

Just booked the max in for a 24 month/25,000 mile servce. £160!!! plus £35 extra for a 'recomended brake fluid change'. crikey! it aint cheap.
