Ford S-MAX 2.0 TDCi Titanium 5d (2008/57) - Owner Review

Space - great for kids, holidays, big loads or all three at once. Also makes a superb car for long distance trips - it is effortless on the motorway. I live in Pennine Yorkshire and it has never felt underpowered.

Summary

5 out of 5

What does this car say about you?
I don't really care: it's extremely practical but also very comfortable and thats what I like (did I mention I can get 50mpg on a good run!).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
The neighbours like their Merc's too much! Family find it ideal.

Would you buy this car again and why?
I'd consider it. Whilst we probably do not need the space so much it is so very practical. I've enjoyed driving it and it has proven cheap to run and very reliable.

What are you likely to buy next?
This or a roomy estate....

Driving it

4 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Really good for cruising down the M1. Responsive and handles the local hills well. Supremely comfortable. I never really missed the A4 that I had before.

What's it like to park?
It's a big bus but those parking indicators help.

Living with it

5 out of 5

Have you had any problems with the car?
Bonnet catch jammed very annoyingly - fixed eventually: remember to oil occasionally as this could work out expensive! Otherwise the car has been extremely reliable and I am very pleased.

What's most practical about your car?
Space - great for kids, holidays, big loads or all three at once. Also makes a superb car for long distance trips - it is effortless on the motorway. I live in Pennine Yorkshire and it has never felt underpowered.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control for those effortless mile-eating journeys - or perhaps those collapsible seats (easily switched from family car to van to bus - really handy when visiting family).
