Thanks mate.
I think it's about a compromise. My other half doesn't want a 'big car' - she's only ever driven a little old micra and a corsa.
It also needs to be petrol and I ain't about no 2.0 or 2.5.
I've got my eye on a B-Max in Titanium trim so should be half decent. I haven't been too put off to check it out by any of the reviews I've read. I just wanted to see what any one here thought too.
Thanks again!
Quincy-
I've pondered a BMax, once they have depreciated enough,
as a ULEZ runabout, with the 1.0L Ecoboost engine.
The pillarless design means getting people or tool boxes in/out will be much easier
than anyother 'equivalent' vehicle, with the benefit that rear passengers will not smash open their doors into adjoining cars in car parks.
Ford didn't make it for long,
but I'm guessing the main wearing components are shared throughout the model ranges,
so parts will always be available,
and easily serviced by non-Main Dealer Ford specialists.
How much are you hoping to pay?

Have you checked out the Parkers website review and compared the specs, performance etc?

I would say that you'd find it annoyingly small as a family car and it will be annoyingly slow and noisy for lengthy motorway driving.
Would probably be comfortable in a high trim version and economy looks good even for the higher power versions.
FWIW (nothing lol) - I like the S-Max. https://www.parkers.co.uk/ford/s-max/estate-2015/20-ecoboost-titanium-sport-5d-auto/specs/ - would definitely consider one of those as my next car.
