Is the step up to Titanium trim worth the extra expense in Ford's Grand C-max asks Al Suttie
1 - Around 70% of Ford C-max models sold to fleet at Zetec spec, but the Titanium offers a generous dollop of extra kit.
2 - Extra kit includes auto headlights and wipers, cruise control, electric rear windows and fancier seat upholstery for an extra £1500.
3 - Our test car also had the £300 Sync2 satnav that is easy to use with addresses or postcodes.
4 - Using the satnav's touchscreen can often mean unintentionally retuning the radio due to the position of the stereo's controls.
5 - The £700 optional Key Free System is fine for keyless ignition, but it often wouldn't work for keyless entry even with the key next to the door handle.
6 - Also with the Key Free System is a powered tailgate, which is slower to lift or close than the normal non-powered variety.
7 - Sliding middle bench adds to practicality of the seven-seat Grand C-max, while the third row pews are plenty big enough for kids.
8 - There's an abundance of space up front, but it took a lot of experimentation to find the ideal driving position to avoid a numbed posterior.
9 - The 1.5 turbodiesel might be relatively small in capacity but it pulls well and returned a satisfactory 58.0mpg against a claimed 64.2mpg average.
10 - Motorway cruising is easy, but there is still a little too much wind swish from around the front screen and door mirrors.
