Default Would you C-Max?

From Autoblog

If there's no Focus wagon, then definitely YES!

It's essentially the same class as the Mazda5 "tall wagon". very versatile, I wouldn't mind it for the cargo space.

I would actually prefer the 5 door cmax over the focus because I think the exterior looks more fluid and works better, but this is assuming the cmax isn't underpowered, has good braking distances, and good fuel economy.

I have thought that the mazda5 is cool, but is let down by its not so good fuel economy and is somewhat underpowered.

I drove it on Ford's Dearborn test track a few weeks ago.

It is a very great driving vehicle and handles well.

But .... it is too much like a minivan for my taste.
