For The S-Max gives sharp handling and a comfortable, refined ride. It also has a practical interior, and prices are keen.
Against Cheaper models miss some very desirable equipment, and the rear pair of seats are best suited to kids. The 2.5-litre engine is thirsty, too.
What Car? says
An MPV that requires little compromise. It looks the part, drives well and does what you want of it. Brilliant.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
As you might only expect of a model that's designed to haul around a car-load of people, the S-Max is at its best with a diesel engine - in this case, the 2.0 TDCi 140. Zetec is the best trim, as it comes with useful extra kit over the basic models, including climate control and electric rear windows.
The S-Max is a very similar car to the Galaxy, but the two have quite different aims. While the Galaxy is a full-on MPV, with enough room for seven adults, the S-Max trades a little space for a sharper drive - oh, and a much cheaper price.
