"It has excellent balance, with a firm yet subtle ride, responsive steering and impressive levels of grip.”

Focus C-MAX features Electro-Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering (EHPAS), which provides the lowest possible steering effort while parking and maintains excellent feel and feedback at higher speeds. Driver inputs are translated with minimal delay, resulting in direct and responsive steering and intuitive control.

The Ford Focus C-MAX went on sale in the UK on the 18th October 2003 - C-MAX is Ford speak for Comfort Maximisation. The C-MAX is a five seater compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or if you prefer a small people carrier. Ford’s marketing division must have noticed one or two Citroen Xsara Picasso's, Renault Scenic's and Vauxhall Zafira's on the road over the years and thought they were missing a compact MPV in their portfolio. The Ford Focus C-MAX is a new addition to the Focus range, which brings greater space, flexibility and comfort, without compromising the acclaimed Focus driving quality.
