I am considering being a launch customer) for a Ford B-MAX

I am considering (as a launch customer) a Ford B-MAX Titanium (1.0 EcoBoost). Is this a model which has already been on sale on the continent and is therefore "de-bugged" and are there any up-grades already?

You might get a better deal from www.drivethedeal.com The engine is already quite well proven in the Focus, but you do have to idle it for 30 seconds or so before switching off when the turbo is red hot. Test here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/ford/ford-b-max-20.../
