It's the Ford that distills the looks and driveability of a Focus into an even more family-friendly package - and Auto Express has driven it! This is the all-new C-MAX, the first in a series of vehicles based on the next Focus. Available as a five-seater,デュベチカ 通販, or a seven-seat Grand C-MAX version,デュベチカ専売店, has the blue oval covered all bases? We drove the five-seater C-MAX,Duvetica Shop, and while it lacks the seven-seater's sliding rear doors and extra row of seats, it's better looking. With its inverted trapezoidal grille,http://bestsoccercleatsonlinestore.blogspot.com/, sharp headlights and tail-lights,discount 2013 roger vivier outlet roger vivier online shopping, and sleek, athletic shape, it's proof that compact MPVs can be stylish. The interior exceeds expectations,duvetica down jackets men sale, too. Its multi-layered dashboard uses a mobile phone-inspired centre console, and the upper surfaces are covered in soft-touch materials. Chrome accents are applied to the door handles, instrument dials and gearshift selector surroundings. Opt for the higher of the two trim grades, Titanium, and you also get dual-zone air-conditioning, LED ambient lighting and a full-length panoramic roof. Driver aids such as Active Park Assist,http://rogervivieroutlet.halod.com/, which automatically steers the vehicle into parking spaces, and blind spot monitoring also make their debut. Despite its sleek design, the C-MAX has the same boot space as its predecessor - 471 litres with the rear seats in place, or a cavernous 1,cheap soccer shoes outlet,723 litres with them removed. The three rear seats split 40/20/40, and the centre one can be folded away. The outer seats slide backwards and inwards to create a more spacious 2+2 layout. In corners,デュベティカアウトレット, the C-MAX is a class act. Wider front and rear tracks boost stability, while new front suspension and anti-roll bars make the car supremely balanced - restricting body movement but maintaining a high degree of comfort. A stiffer chassis for added agility, plus torque vectoring and a more communicative steering rack, make the C-MAX the new benchmark in its class from behind the wheel. It bodes well for the new Focus, on sale in January 2011. As does the new 148bhp 1.6-litre direct-injection EcoBoost engine, which is smooth and free from turbo lag. Throttle response is razor sharp,Duvetica Sale, thanks to 95 per cent of power being available from 1,500rpm until 5,500rpm. The 240Nm of torque is also boosted to 270Nm during full-throttle acceleration - perfect for overtaking manoeuvres. The new six-speed manual gearbox is fast, precise and geared to make the most of the rev-hungry engine. A twin-clutch PowerShift gearbox is an option only on the range-topping 138bhp 2.0-litre TDCi variant. Prices start at £16,745 - £1,225 more than the cheapest Renault Scenic. But for that, you're getting the best looking, finest handling and most desirable car in the compact MPV segment. Rival: Renault Scenic The car that started the compact MPV trend is now in its third generation,http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/, and still going strong. Despite a bland exterior, the Renault has a spacious cabin and is excellent value for money. Interiour design is what counts for me and it looks like I'd be driving in a transistor. Sorry, it pulls my eyes together (again like Ford's "New Edge Design" did years ago), it's disturbingly overdesigned and it ooks cheap. In my experience, some designs at first sight look WOW!, but people get very quickly tired of violeence over their eyes. Why can't Ford just stop experimenting on their customers and just make simply good, stylish (perhaps bit more classy) interiour in wich could feel comfortable for few years or luckily more. This is exactly what a modern car SHOULD be like, fords present Focus and C-Max are seriously lacking any kind of style! The new C-Max is stunning and I have seen it in the flesh,cheap soccer cleats online store, the interior quality is several steps up, the style in the flesh is up-to-date, sleek, very nice, and there is PLENTY of room in the front so I have no idea where that one came from! Ford have tried with this,http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/, they actually DESIGN cars rather than just line everything up like they did in the past,Discount Soccer Cleats Clearance Cleats, I'm sorry but if you would rate the previous C-Max over this then you really don't "get" it, and that is sad,Parajumpers Parka Coat Online Store, but your loss! 相关的主题文章： http://starbike.5d6d.com/ http://clinicianlink.com.php5-6.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/activity/p/621419/ http://202.123.66.140/viewthread.php?tid=322045&extra=page%3D1&frombbs=1 http://www.fujianbaoyu.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=325456 http://www.youximi.org/show/1727603.html http://211.144.130.170/thread-2372327-1-1.html http://docutunes.com/new/ben-taylor-kung-folk#comment-975248 http://198.57.236.178/~savethem/uncommon-gracespun5/ http://cnaylm.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=241964 http://www.easy-english.org/phpwind/read.php?tid=352673 |
