Renault Master

Renault Master 2012

Engine is 2.3 tdci 6 speed tiptronic automatic gearbox but it responds better if you use it as a manual. I think it's a four-cylinder single turbo diesel.

 0-62 in 15 seconds dead
Top speed is 87 mph 
125 BHP
Torque: 229 lb-ft

Great bus. Very comfortable, but the gearbox is terrible, it doesn't change up quick enough and you end up over-revving it but over all it`s very reliable. It's got a USB port for music, you can put your iPod into it. Great radio.  it has a red cloth interior and captan chairs in the front. It is better to use  gearbox in manual   


It's the most comfortable bus we've ever had. The suspension is brilliant, especially at the back. It's got a nice interior and the A/C is good. It has electric windows in the front but manual in the back with a manual sunroof. 


Handling: it handles really well around the bends when you chuck it about.You can chuck it about with ease, it takes everything you give it without moaning.
The only downside is the steering lock is awful but it's still a fantastic bus that I wouldn't change for anything.

it works really well on the motorway its best if you keep the limiter off as the limiter gets in the way. The Renault master has an  automatic gear box that can reach around 76 and a half thousand miles.

That's it really. 
End of report.

FORD C-MAX (2013)

I haven't driven this yet, but I've driven the 2011 one, which was only a five seater. This new one is a seven seater, so it could be a bit more practical, which it will be. I would say after looking at this, you'd need the 2.0 litre diesel, if you want the performance. the 1.0 litre would take you half-a-year to get up to 60. The smaller engine could be a bit gutless. By looking at the weight and size of it, lets say it would be a bit under powered. Also comes with heated windscreen.

Some facts: Ford C-MAX 2.0 TDCi Titanium X 5d. Engine: 2.0 Turbo Diesel. 160bhp. 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds. Top speed: 130 mph. MPG: 57. 6-speed manual. Facts from Parkers.

For optional extras parking sensors front and rear are what I would add. Especially with drivers who don't know how to park.
