I feel attacked.
I have a 2007 Mk1 C Max, £4k in November 2020. So the facelifted version of the Mk1 (early 2007 was pre-facelift), the first where they stopped calling it a Focus C Max. Tons of space inside, high driving position like you say. Has not cost me very much in the 2 or so years I've had it. Non-sliding door version but the 2l Titanium spec, which from what I can gather means front and rear parking sensors and a heated windscreen (only half of mine has ever actually defrosted and I can't be arsed to replace the windscreen for that). The non enginey bits are easy to work on too. I fitted a new touchscreen head unit so I could have DAB and bluetooth (even hooked it up to the steering column stalk), I replaced a wing mirror when it got smashed by multiple close passing dicks when parked, and I took the headlights out and polished them.
My model also has a feature where the middle of the rear seats folds away and the two remaining seats slide inwards and back to make a very roomy 4 seater. Never used it as we have a kid's seat permanently in the back.
They're also based off the Focus (B-Max on Fiesta and S-Max on Mondeo) so they're very easy to park.
