Is it a bad idea to buy a used Ford C-MAX?

5 reasons to love and hate the Ford C-MAX

had 2007 one and loved it... trade it and moved to 2011 grand-c-max and loved it... then a smaller but quicker and sharper 2015 focus sw 1.5tdci 120cv (unfortenlly this last one is an oil timing belt engine) - but I still have it

good review
the car is nice but all that plastic does break and mine drives well but the paint was so bad after 8 years I just put primer on it. the road noise can be bad but the thing is it is fast and good on gas. tough combo that electric motor is nice. Now when the 12volt battery dies have fun getting to it cux the ford engineers did not put a manual release. cool car but it is plastic for weight reasons and that stuff is not durable. the door locks are also screwed up. but it still drives.
