Ford C-Max - Should I get an EcoBoost?
I'm looking at replacing my Ford C-Max with the newer version. My mileage is around 10,000 a year and I’m not looking for high performance - reliability is more important. My choices are between the 1.0 EcoBoost and standard 1.6. Which would you recommend?

We're seeing slightly worse real life mpg from the 1.0 EcoBoost than from the 1.6: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ford/c-max-2010 Of course the annual VED is less for the 1.0 EcoBoost and it's more enjoyable to drive.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

The 1.0-litre 'Ecoboost' petrol engine in the Ford C-MAX is amazingly swift and responsive, can such an arrangement really deliver long-term on A-roads and motorways?

Neat styling. More practical than a Ford Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. High-quality interior.
