    I personally think that the S-Max plays in a class of its own. No competition on the market by any other manufacture so far. No other Van/MPV on the entire market combines sportines, style, practicality like the S-Max does. In my opinion the perfekt allrounder for daily use. It seems like Ford has invented some kind of a new segment of cars when they started the production of the S-Max. I like nearly all kind of cars but MPVs have never been my favourite ones but this thing here is simply cool. To me it looks awesome (especially in the ST-Version in black with the strongest available engine). Thank you for your effort and the nice video!!! ;-)

    Great review and excellent car. I test drove it an hour after a RAV-4 hybrid, and could not believe how much better it was in almost every respect. I was then going to test a Honda CRV hybrid, but realised there was no point. An S-Max FHEV is ordered, and I can't wait.

    I have S-max since 2018, it’s a great car, very confy, couldn’t find anything better in this category. We have other “premium” brands in the family (a Mercedes C class and a Z4) and this is not behind at all compared to premium brands. Only some hard plastics in the low areas, which they don’t bother to me since the car is well built and after 3 years still doesn’t rattle at all (Mercedes for rattles is really bad instead). So overall very happy with the car.

    Speaking of this segment, the most important feature is certainly the 3 seats which allow you to transport 3 kids with child seats without losing the trunk space. With 2 kids you have 100s of choices. With 3 kids it’s basically only seat Alhambra, Ford galaxy, vw sharan, maybe Peugeot 5008. Audi Q7 is the expensive option. I think the Smax looks not too shabby for being a big family car and has everything needed to carry 5 ppl

    I have one as a hire car at the moment and compared to the new one I had from 2008 to 2011 it's boring. The cutting edge handling has gone. Mpg is no better. Gearbox is a little notchy and longer reach than the old one. I was excited to try a newer one as I though 13 years should see some healthy improvements but no. Ps who the hell is going to pay 40k for an smax?!
