Ford B-Max review (30/01/2013)

IT’S not often that my better half expresses a view on any given test car. After 30 years or so of seeing new motors come and go, she only rarely gets fired up one way or another about one of them.

It was something of a surprise therefore that no sooner had the new Ford B-Max mini MPV arrived than she was taking interest in it. It was an even bigger surprise that, having witnessed it in action for a while, she pronounced it to be one of the best new cars she’d seen in a good while.

From the time I first drove the B-Max at its European launch in Munich last August, I was pretty certain Ford had a winner.
