Some reviewers do talk rubbish sometimes. Allow me to step on my soap-box please. They complain about the rear passenger space and say the boot is tiny. This is clearly rubbish! When compared to the Merc A-class and a Fiesta (of which it is a similar size vehicle) both of those dimensions are actually larger. Infact the they are more comparable to larger class vehicles such as the Ford Focus. Was it really fair to compare it to Focus-CMax? Why not compare the CMax to the Range Rover and say the CMax has a small boot. Duh! Also, why drive the Sport model then complain about the firm ride, what were they really expecting I wonder, the clue was in the word 'Sport'. Where do these automotive jounalists apear from.....muppets! Anyway, stepping off my soap-box. It was good to see the car winning the review.
