• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - petrol or diesel? 25 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  We have had diesels for a while, but with all the DPF, DMF etc debate I'm not sure it's worth it. In the S-Max, the 2.0 diesel would suffice but I would really like the 2.2 for a bit more shove especially towing. However, while there are plenty of 2.0's on the used market, there are very few 2.2s and they are very highly priced.

  I'll no doubt go for a 520d SE but the A5 looks much nicer and the A6 S-Line is better equipped so I'd like to keep my options open at ths stage. Thanks PS - I have a 5 day test drive booked with an A6 S-Line booked from the end of this week so that should prove interesting.

• Subaru Tribeca or Ford S-Max 2.5T? 30 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Not quite the same bargain as a Tribeca but not too far short. I suspect the S-Max will be the better drive of the two and 4WD is not vital. Which one would you go for and why?
