At the time that I bought mine I was unable to locate a TDi model at a reasonable price so opted for the 1.6 petrol. Given that I am now retired and do nothing like the mileage I used to do, the slightly heavier fuel consumption is acceptable. Overall the car manages between 38 and 44 mpg which as I am usually only doing short runs, is I feel within reason. The ride quality, build, handling and general comfort are all first class and to date (14000 miles) the only item to go wrong was the rear window wiper which was replaced under warranty at the first service. Overall I have to say that both my wife and I are very pleased with our C-Max and at this time have no plans to exchange it.
