Style & Design
8/10

The S-Max is angry and imposing, just like its Galaxy sibling, and a little lower and stealthier too. The rear isn’t as well executed, though, bulging out in the name of functionality. Lower stance suits styling better, though the wheels could be prettier.

Performance
7/10

The 1.8 TDCi takes just 11.5 secs to sprint to 100km/h, only half a sec off the pace of the 2.0-litre petrol (10.9) while being 25% more economical. The 2.0 TDCi is swift but not worth €2K more. The 2.5 T is pointlessly but amusingly fast (7.9 secs to 100km/h, 230 km/h all out).

Ride & Handling
9/10

The S-Max is mechanically the same as the Galaxy, but with a much sportier set up. Think I’m joking? Drive one. It’s like a giant hot hatch that requires incredible self-restraint when the kids are aboard. The ride is harsh at times, though.

Interior & Ergonomics
7/10

It has basically the same interior as the upmarket Galaxy, but is not quite as nicely finished. It’s ergonomically perfect, even down to the wacky but functional handbrake, but the sun visors are jokingly small and the shiny dash trim distracts.

Quality & Refinement
7/10

Quality is about the same as the Galaxy: good overall but patchy here and there. The metal bits all seem well bolted together and the seats seem robust. It’s the plastic that lets it down. Refinement isn’t as impressive as the Galaxy either. The ride is firm, though the body is kept in check.

Safety
6/10

The S-Max is properly safe, with full-length curtain airbags, side airbags, ISOFIX in the back and some cutting-edge options. ESP is still optional on some models, though, which is a disgrace in a so-called sporting MPV.

Space & Practicality
8/10

Quite why Ford has two identically spacious cars I cannot fathom, but the result for the S-Max is that’s it’s more spacious than the outgoing Galaxy, while taking up very little in terms of space. It’s hugely practical, and even the seven-seat boot is a manageable size.

Value & Running Costs
6/10

Ford’s pricing strategy has us wondering which car they’re trying to hurt. It’s almost identically priced to the Galaxy, so in the end it’s a question of taste. The diesel should be as cheap as an MPV can be to run, but resale might not be as strong as for the Galaxy.

Equipment
6/10

The LX covers the basics, with electric front windows (the rear needs them more, I thought), air conditioning, alloys and steering wheel stereo control. Comparatively speaking, the Ghia is poor value, while the Zetec is best with a leather steerig wheel, climate control and rear power windows.

Engine Specifications
8/10

Only 4 engines are offered, but these should cater to most buyers’ needs. Of the diesels offered we like the punch of the 1.8-litre TDCi 125bhp 6-speed best of all. The 2.0-litre TDCi is scarcely faster and two grand more. The 220 bhp 2.5 T is barking but a bit pointless. Ignore the 2.0 petrol.

I don’t know anyone who downloads videos or watches TV on their mobile phones, do you? Video phones remind me of the programmable timer on your DVD Recorder or the defroster programs on your microwave or even the manual functions on your digital camera. Who has the time to be fiddling with this stuff? I’m quite sure they’re ingenious and I’m sure they work fantastically if you take the time to learn how to use them properly, but they’re just a bit pointless out in the real world.

The Ford S-Max 2.5 T falls into the same category. I can tell you right now that it’s a deeply brilliant car, both as a hugely versatile and comfortable MPV and as a rapid and engaging driver’s car. But who is ever really going to use it as Ford intended? Anyone who’s impressed with the S-Max as an MPV will opt for a torquey and frugal diesel model (after all, there are lots of mouths to feed) while those who are looking for their jollies aren’t going to buy an MPV, even one as good as the S-Max. Unlike the Zafira OPC, the S-Max is sprung like a warmed over version of the basic car rather than a hardcore track car. As a consequence it’s real-world fast, capable of skipping over all but the worst bumps and putting its power down through bumpy corners without igniting the inside tyre or torque steering into orbit. The ride is firm but not so bad it jolts your little darlings’ fillings loose, while body roll and longitudinal movements are kept to an absolute minimum, too. It’s quite amazing how well this big MPV handles on even the worst of roads.

The only problem is that the diesel S-Max is better in a point-and-shoot, one-touch-record, 10-mins-at-hi-power kind of way. Not as fast or quite as accurate, perhaps, but for 99 percent of the time you’re driving your MPV the S-Max TDCi is more than enough car for any of us. To really see how much better the 2.5T you either need a racetrack or some very understanding kids, not to mention some deep pockets both to pay for it (it costs €40,000) and to run it (it averaged 11 l/100km in my hands). Like I said the S-Max 2.5T Titanium is really quite a brilliant car. It’s just that it’s a bit superfluous given how good the default settings are.

Verdict: The 220 hp S-Max is swift, sure, but still a comfortable and hugely capable MPV. Not thrilling enough to warrant the outlay, though.
