Ford S-Max Owner Reviews
9/ 10

Carl, Devon

replaced my citreon grand picasso with the 2.0 litre (203bhp) 6 speed auto S Max. Terrific car, easily the best I have ever driven. Bags of power even with a full load,seamless gear changes, quiet luxury cruiser,no rattles or squeaks. Hi spec. Why not 10 out of 10,lights could be better, economy not great (but that's to be expected). Will keep it

warwick, spain

2008 ford smax-I was a bit reluctante at frist looking at the poeple mover market but when i came across the smax with it´s sporty looks and increadle finnsh(equal of that of a VW) i took it for a tst drive and was instanly impressed....it´s one of very few people carriers that drivers more like a sedan than a van.
ive used the smax for all kinds of things from transportiing up to 7 people to football games,furnitura removal, mountainbike transport with out haveing to take the bike apart, road trips where mi and my grilfriend have slept in the back with the seats down and ontop a thin foam matress and on and on goes the list.it´s big but not too big, powerfull ,safe and on mine with it´s 17inch alloy rims looks great on the road, enough that serveral strangers have comentered too me on the car.
two things that are a bit lacking are the headlights (por ilumination )and sloping angle of the boot at boot floor level is a pain when you open the boot and some thing falls out onto the ground unexpectingly(usally a bottle of wine).
would definately recomend this car to anyone, as it is a joy to drive.
