    what do ye think lads, my company car is up for a change at the end of the month its a 05 tdci (110 hp ) focus with 105k on it, the only problem is that the new 1.6 engine has dropped in power to 90 bhp is that much of a difference?

    Yep it is.

    I owned 2 C-Max with the 1.6TDCI 110bhp engine, and it was a good all rounder. They were excellent vehicles, practical as hell, drove nicely and sipped fuel.

    The 1.8 TDCI engine (Lynx) has 115 bhp and pulls like a train. Go for this one if you can. It's available in Activ spec.

    p.s. C-Max is due an upgrade shortly. April I think. The Focus 1.8 TDCI Ghia (4 or 5 door) can be had for a bit more money. I've a 4 door on order.

    thanks for the reply, im pretty stretched going for the 1.6 active as it is was thinking of getting it chipped should make up for the loss of power.
