FORD FOCUS C-MAX (2003-TO DATE)福特焦点丙-马克斯(2003-至今)
The Ford Focus C-MAX confused quite a few people upon launch in 2003.福特焦点丙-马克斯困惑不少人在2003年发射. What exactly was it trying to be?究竟是否可以尝试? It didn?t offer any additional seating capacity over the standard Ford Focus hatch and wasn?t as good looking.它雾化?笔额外提供座位超过标准.其余舱口福特焦点?作为笔帅气. It was, on the other hand, a fair bit pricier and it didn?t feel quite as sharp to drive.据,但在另一方面,有些价格较高,雾化公平?笔驾驶感觉相当敏锐. Small wonder that sales were initially a little sticky.难怪销售最初有点粘. After a while word got round that the C-MAX was a car well worth having.过了一会听说,三回合-马克斯是一辆值得拥有. Well stocked with practical features and riding on the next-generation Focus chassis, it may not have been quite as sporting as the old Focus hatch but it offered more for the family motorist.并备有各种实用的特点和骑在下一代焦点底盘、它可能没有像运动作为重点舱口但旧的家庭提供更多驾车. Here?s the lowdown on used examples.这里?收盘爆内幕用于例子.
HISTORY历史
As far as problems go, it?s quite a nice one to have.据问题上,它?其中有相当漂亮的. So successful was the Ford Focus hatch that when it came to designing an all-new model, Ford had quite a task on their hands.福特焦点是如此成功,当它来到舱口设计一个全新的模式,福特曾难为他们手中. Instead of trying to replicate the dynamic feel of the old car, Ford?s engineers instead opted for a more grown up feel and the first cars to use the next-generation Focus chassis were the Focus C-MAX mini-MPV and the Volvo S40/V50 models, all of which nevertheless garnered critical acclaim as sweet driving cars.他不是在复制动态感受到了旧汽车、福特?工程师收盘反而选择了多首长大感受和轿车用新一代底盘的焦点集中三-马克斯小型巡逻艇和沃尔沃s40/v50型号不过这一切都为210好评甜驱动汽车.
The Focus C-MAX was launched in October 2003 and after a slow start, sales have picked up nicely.焦点三-马克斯于2003年10月,经过一个缓慢的开端,销售回升好听. Euro IV versions of the diesel engines were offered alongside the non-compliant units at a premium of around £300.欧盟IV版本的柴油机80707一道不符合单位地价约300英镑. Towards the end of 2004 a 1.6-litre Ti-VCT petrol engine was added to the range with 115bhp it was slightly quicker, more frugal and more expensive than the existing 1.6 engine which continued to be offered.2004年底的1.6公升钛自愿咨询和检验汽油发动机增加幅度与115bhp它稍快,更俭朴、比现有发动机而继续向客户提供6月1日.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Think about how we use our cars for a moment.想想如何善用车一刻. Many of us rarely even use the back seats for anything but shopping bags and jackets.很多人甚至很少使用购物袋回到座位,但什么外套. If you?ve got a family in tow, you may well need four or even five seats but if you seriously need seven seats, it makes sense to go with the additional carrying capacity of a full sized MPV like a Ford Galaxy.如果你?维生素E有一家扶老携幼,你可能需要四到五席,但如果你认真甚至需要7个席位,有道理顺应额外载客全部大中型巡逻艇像福特银河. Sales figures at the time of the C-MAX launch showed the Citroen Xsara Picasso ?销量在当时居-马克斯发射显示雪铁龙赛纳毕加索? a car endowed with a mere quintet of seats ?仅仅拥有一辆汽车重奏席位? residing in the number one position.旅居头号位置. Therefore it was Ford?s aim to build the best and most practical five-seat mini-MPV possible that would appeal to ?real world?所以福特?收盘旨在建立最佳和最实用的五座小型巡逻艇可能会上诉?现实世界? requirements.要求.
With a wheelbase some 25mm longer than the Focus, the C-MAX offers a good deal of interior space, helped by a novel seating arrangement.有的用在25mm轴距长于焦点,丙-马克斯带来很大的室内空间,一种坐位安排的帮助. The ?wheel at each corner?<?车轮每一个角落? design also helps maximise interior dimensions.室内设计也有助于最大尺寸. The styling may disappoint those expecting something as ground breaking as the Focus originally was, but having seen the Fiesta and the Fusion, it?s perhaps not surprising that the C-MAX follows a similarly conservative design theme.一些可能令那些期待的造型作为焦点,原本是作为动土,但眼见节日和融合?收盘或许不足为奇了C―马克斯遵循同样的保守设计主题. The metallic finish around the front grille and the jewel-effect lights give the car a Mondeo-like nose, whereas the back end looks distinctly Fiesta.完成金属宝石门锁及周围阵地效应灯亮了蒙迪欧车样鼻而后端看起来明显广场. If you?d have sketched a Ford mini-MPV before you?d even seen the C-MAX, you would probably have been pretty near the mark.如果你?四勾画出福特小型巡逻艇在你们面前?四甚至看见三-马克斯、你大概已经相当接近马克. Still, this is a market where conservatism tends to pay off.但是,这是一个市场趋于保守还清.
If the exterior may be a little underwhelming, the C-MAX more than makes up for it with the ideas factory that is the cabin.如果外观可能有点underwhelming,地方性马克斯超过弥补它的想法就是工厂机舱. Although it?s unlikely to be available on entry-level versions, Ford?s rear seat flexibility system really is the ace in the C-MAX hole.虽然?收盘不大可能得到对入门级版本福特?收盘后座弹性制度的确是在三王牌-马克斯洞. A 40-20-40 "tip and tumble" rear seat sees the centre section flip rearwards into the luggage compartment, leaving the remaining two seats to slide diagonally along a runner towards the centre of the car, giving unprecedented levels of space for four.40-20-40一个"冰山而倒下"后座看中心组翻盖后面进入行李舱,剩下的两个席位下滑角沿转轮往市中心车给予前所未有的空间4. With 100mm of extra legroom and 60mm of additional shoulder room, even extravagantly dimensioned passengers should be able to find space in the back of the C-MAX.与100毫米和60毫米的额外负担额外legroom室甚至侈尺度乘客应该能够找到空间背面居-马克斯. Even in the standard three-abreast bench position there?s plenty of room, offering 946mm of legroom and 582 litres of luggage compartment space.即使在标准三握位置上台阶?收盘空间很大,提供946mm的582公升行李舱legroom和空间. Remove the rear seats altogether and there?s a monstrous 1,692 litres available.共拆除后座上?收盘滔天1692公升. One trick Ford did miss was the ability to tumble the front passenger seat forward to a flat position.福特曾小姐是一个花招能力滚落前座乘客座位上了一个单位的位置.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Buyers seem rather contented with their C-MAXs and as such values are holding up very well.买主似乎颇为自得其碳maxs这种价值观和稳住很好. A 1.6-litre C-MAX LX on a 53 plate fetches £8,000 while the slightly ritzier Zetec model commands £8,500.一条1.6公升的C盘马克斯lx月53英镑兑换到8000而8500英镑略有ritzierzetec示范指挥. Plump for the quicker 1.8-litre car and a Zetec model on the same plate will be £8,750.肥美的快一点八公升轿车和zetec模型将在同一板块8750英镑. The diesel models have proved very popular and a 2.0-litre TDCi Ghia will still be worth in the region of £10,500 for a 53-plated car.型号的柴油机已证明相当受欢迎,2.0公升tdcighia仍会在该地区的总值为10,500英镑53-镀车. Insurance ranges from Group 6E to Group 9E.保险集团6e779E条不等.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
All of the engines are tough units and the diesels are especially good so no major mechanical issues there.一切单位和强硬的柴油引擎特别好,因此没有大的机械问题. The cabins are reasonably hardwearing too but look for damage in the rear caused by tots.机舱hardwearing太合理,但寻求造成损害的后方摔. The C-MAX tends not to be driven quite as hard as regular Focus models but it?s still worth keeping an eye out for mega mileage company hacks.地方性马克斯往往不被带动相当难如定期集中模式,但?收盘仍值得观察出巨型公司棍哩. Worn carpets, and scuffed trim are the usual clues.地毯磨损、胶合浪通常都是线索.
Check that all the electrical items work properly, ensure that the air conditioner delivers chilled air soon after the engine is started and remember that there?s no excuse for missed servicing with a car of this age.检查所有电器产品的工作做好,确保空气冷冻空调发表后不久发动机启动并记得吗?收盘为借口,错过了这个年龄轿车.

Ford claim the C-MAX moniker is an amalgam of both the C-segment in which it competes and a combination of maximum comfort, maximum confidence and maximum control.福特声称丙-马克斯绰号汞合金是双方三段和它竞争结合最高舒适最大信任和最高控制. Whilst some of this sounds like marketing flannel, it?s a source of great importance for Ford that the C-MAX should uphold the reputation of its Focus progenitor as a sparkling drive.虽然这听起来有些像推销绒布、?收盘消息说,对于福特的C马克斯要坚持信誉为重点祖晶莹剔透径. Rumour has it that during the development cycle, an all-electric steering was developed that developed far better feedback than any electric power steering system to date.传言谓在开发周期全面开发,研制电动督导反馈好得多电动助力转向系统比任何迄今. Thing was, it still wasn?t as good as the Focus?事情是,它仍然.其余?笔媲美的焦点? existing helm, so despite being undoubtedly clever, it was ditched.目前掌舵,虽然不失为聪明,有人丢弃. Instead Ford uses a hydroelectric pump system that offers great feel and a three per cent fuel saving over conventional systems.福特而是用泵水电系统带来巨大的感受和节油超过百分之三的常规系统. This, coupled with the celebrated control blade rear suspension, ensures that the C-MAX feels a very capable handler.此外,再加上著名刀片后方受控制,保证了C―马克斯突然感到非常能干犬.
Five engines are offered - a pair of diesels and a trio of petrol units.5引擎提供的一双柴油和汽油的单位重奏.

Ford would neither confirm nor deny the eventual existence of 1.8-litre SCi direct injection petrol and hot rod V6 ST versions of the C-MAX but the twinkle in the engineer?s eye when the question was raised spoke volumes.福特既不证实也不否认存在最终1.8升直喷汽油及热棒辞V6导圣版本的C马克斯但闪亮的工程师?收盘时,眼睛的问题是不言而喻的.
