I own a MK1 SMax. Best car I have ever owned. 150k and not a single problem. I would like to see them justify the below average reliability!

I have had the new Ford S-Max for two weeks and to be honest it's great bit of kit and I have no complaints the one thing I can say it's well built and I feel safe while at the wheel it's a great drive I love it to bits.

Well it's December and the car is doing fine the only real issue I have is the MPG at 35.5 its a 2.0 TDCI with 180PS and 400Nm torque and I don't push the car but I'm not happy with the MPG otherwise it's a perfect family wagon.

@alanbutterfield8057 7 жыл бұрын

It's now Feb 2017 and MPG has dropped further to 34.6 / 34.7 I did take the car back to Fords to question this and they told me that's good and I'm doing well the problem is I don't agree as prior to this I had a 14 Plate S-max 1.6 TDCi and I got close to 50MPG around town but the engine is gutless with very little power it's my fault this review points out MPG as a possible issue but guess what I ignored the advice and now I'm paying the price. :(

@jeremycubs8331 6 жыл бұрын

Alan Butterfield Hi mate is yours automatic? 35mpg is indeed very disappointing, but if it's an auto it is to be expected. My 1.6 tdci grand c-max manual returns 60.2 mpg but I've had it remapped, I'm very happy with the torque now holds 6th gear all day long on motorways even the steep ones, but gotta say it smokes a bit when being pushed with rpm passing 3K, 40k miles after remap and I'm having no issues with clutch or anything since. Anyway I really like the Smax altogether it's just so handsome 😀

Rebecca you are always a pleasure to watch...! Not just for the review though! Nice review by the way for a very nice car! A car that can be bought even if it's segment is indifferent for the buyer!

I love the new Ford S-Max I'm due to pick up the same model on the 6th September 2016 in magnetic grey. It has the wow factor such a great shape and the inside is just as good.

Hi I'm back and just 24 hours ago I picked up the new Ford S-Max Titanium sport 180PS model and it's a very quick car you get such pulling power from 2nd gear its just amazing you can feel the 295 F/Pounds or 400Nm low down in the rev range it's a step up from the previous generation S-max it's a absolute pleasure to drive and would ask anyone thinking about getting one then please do you won't be sorry.

Handsome car, but the old one looks better. And why no manual gearbox with the more powerful engines? The whole point of the car is to be a big car that's enjoyable to drive. You could get the old one with a 6-speed manual and the 2,5T engine from the Focus ST, wich is a really fun car to drive.

Looks good but I hate to think what the price will be. Manufacturers are pricing their cars a little bit crazy these days. Not everyone wants all these fancy gadgets in their cars and just want a basic runaround to get back and forth.

Ginny is much better suited for that job. But a racing driver like Rebecca deserves better than that. At TG she gets just what she deserves, Porsches, Mercs, Beamers. Oh its no surprised she left.

***** First of all why are you insulting me? Secondly, that shark nose has always been part of Aston. True, this specific iteration of it was done under Ford, but that doesnt make it right, seeing a fucking Ford with an Aston nose. It looks lame, because simply put, it's not an Aston, in the same way it would be stupid of BMW to put a Rolls nose or taillights on their cars trying to immitate Rolls.
