Well update time, had the B Max over 6mths now, done 2400 miles and am very impressed, does everything I need and is great on fuel.

Will be 2 years old in April and has just clocked 6000miles, will also need its second service in April which should be 24000miles but it is due yearly no matter on the miles.

Might be a Ford but as I said I am really pleased with it and with the bikes it is great, so much room plus the door layout is a real plus point.

Update time.

With plans slotting into place at last and with a house purchase on the horizon, I needed to trim costs a little, the original dealer was not very helpful so shopped around and another Ford dealer was willing to help me switch back to a cheaper car.

The figures made sense and at the end of the day I still have an 11 plate Fiesta with full spec being the Titanium model, nice miles at only 30k from new, the B max was shedding value like water so it made sense to sell now.

Will post a better picture over the weekend

Well not posted for a while, been really busy with having now purchased my first house, I am now all in and sorted.

I sold the Fiesta back in May to help trim costs even further and have not had a car since, however I collect my brand new car on Saturday.

Never had a brand new car so this will be a experience for me, did think of another s/h car but with my luck figured it made more sense to go for the new option.

What are you getting?

All I am willing to say at this stage is that it is a sensible choice but it is well respected by the motoring press as a great all round choice.

B Max is long gone (March), I had a Fiesta TDci for a short while, long story but it had to be sold, I have not had a car since May.
