Would you recommend a ford grand c max for a family of 6?

[Lilacbluewaters]

looking to upgrade to a 7 seater and we have seen a ford grand c max, are they roomy?
we will have a 7, 4, 2 year olds and newborn.
do you think it will be suitable?

No. They're tiny

We've got one, we love it.

We only have 3 kids tho, they all sit in the back (second row with seats in boot down).

The last row with foldable seats has come in so handy for ferrying their friends around, but maybe not perfect for 4 kids and 2 adults long term.

It drives well and decently priced

I'm in my second, and I absolutely love it. I'm a childminder and it gives me flexibility. However in your place I wouldn't recommend it as the main family car because it's basically a 6 seat, the middle seat in the second row is tiny. Mine is always folded down so older children can climb into the boot seats. When all seats are up there is absolutely no boot space, not even got coats etc. Totally love the sliding doors though. I'm gutted they don't make it any more.

They are great that they fit in normal parking spaces etc. but the boot is incredibly small which limits your choice of buggy etc. I use the footwell under the baby car seat for the shopping etc and have a roof box for holiday/day trips. But if you need boot space don’t get one

Depends on lots of things, primarily how often everyone is in it at the same time..

We are a family of 9, and bought 2 a couple of years apart.

Advantages are normal ish car size with tons of space in 5 seat mode. Sliding doors - every famiky car should have. Easily convertible e into seven seats when needed, 6 seat mode means everyone can get in without folding / unfolding.

Disadvantage is that the boot is tiny in 7 seat mode.

We got a roof rack for one of ours and easily did a weeks holiday for 11 people with pram, beach tents, chairs, paddleboards etc with onebl as a 7 seat, and the other as a 5.

We got a pram in ours in 7 seat mode - one of the mothercare ultra compact ones, but youre right - it is tiny - maybe 6 or 7 inches deep, max.

I had a c-max with 3 kids but would have bought the S max for 4 kids and boot space.
