Right, this is the 2013 Ford C-Max 1.6 TDCi Zetec—the family car for people who need practicality, but refuse to drive something that looks like a fridge on wheels. Under the bonnet sits a 1.6-litre turbo diesel producing 113 bhp and enough torque to haul the weekly shop, the dog, and two kids who’ve just discovered crisps exist. Official fuel economy? 61.4 mpg combined. That means it sips diesel like it’s paying for it out of its own wallet. Insurance? Group 15, which is refreshingly reasonable considering it’s got the space of a small barn and the handling of, well, a Ford—sharp, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Spec-wise, it’s the Zetec trim—so you get air conditioning, heated front windscreen, alloy wheels, quick-clear glass, remote locking, and Ford’s no-nonsense interior that’s actually laid out in a way that makes sense. The C-Max doesn’t try to be flashy. It’s honest, dependable, and just a bit more fun to drive than it has any right to be.
