Ford S-Max

I'm 40+ with a young family and kids because of family needs, going the MPV route is inevitable. I am a die hard auto lover and driving pleasure is very important to me. In Singapore because of the cost of owning an automobile, it is not possible and not economical to own more than one vehicle. I tell myself when I'm looking for an MPV my fun days of driving is over. I was wrong! The S-Max Titanium Ecoboost is a dream come true. Its practical and its a 7 seater with a very easy to use fold flat system that makes the car extremely flexible. The build quality of this car is easily as good as any Merc or Audi. The cabin is well insulated and extremely comfortable. I have the 18'optional rims and the ride is still incredibly comfortable. The drive is just amazing. The engine is very powerful and incredibly responsive. If you are heavy footed you will find spinning the wheel is not hard. The Powershift gear box is super smooth. IMHO drives better than most sedan. In all honesty, I have never thought that I will be so happy driving around day to day on an MPV but this car really is the car. It is a rare car that will keep you happy and keep your family happy as well. ... Read More

Got the S-max right before cny & the next day drove to port dickson and melaka for the long long weekend (mileage 1162km covered). With 2 kids (on child car seat), mom & dad, ma wife, the maid and 6 bags for the trip, i could quite said its fully loaded. Quiet & comfortable drive, my kids age 1 & 2 sleep soundly and conversation with all passenger during the drive was quite pleasant due to low noise. The car has enough power to overtake from 100km/hr speed (running in period controlling at <3000rpm) even on long uphill ns-highway without making the engine "grunt". The center and back individual seat was really great to have and both my parents appreciate it. Handling was pretty easy and precise, give you lots of confident. The brake assist was really strong and need to some getting used to especially crawling in traffic jams. Driving view was excellent. Both me and my wife got slight sun-burn due to the large front glass, just need to get a good tinting will help us prepare for the next long trip. Average petrol consumption is 10.1 l/100km, with some area of the highway was congested and driving speed was from 0~40km/hr. Now the car is on 16" wheel, intend to upgrade to 18" soon. It didn't have any spare wheel so make me a little nervous if got a flat, although it comes with euro tire repair kit. Anyway its all safety related! And most important things of all.... That i like the car! And its cool driving it!... Read More
