• Ford S-MAX - Reasonable wear and tear? 2 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  Following a good discussion on this forum, I went for a Ford SMax last year, and spent £9k on a 2007 2.5T from a main dealer.  I've been really happy with the car. I've since put it in for a service to a different (more local) main dealer, and they have found £2k worth of work.

• Ford S-MAX - Child Observation Mirror 8 May 2019 (Forum)
  Hi All,  I've just purchased a 2013 S-MAX Titanium and was wondering if anyone else has one that doesn't have a child obseration mirror? When on our test drive I was sat in the back whilst my husband drove and I asked the sales guy about the mirror as I use it all the time in my old car and he showed me the sunglasses holder and said it didn't have a mirror as it was an option for one or the other when ordering which I thought was stange.

• New Galaxy/Mondeo/S-MAX/SAV Interior 23 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  There's a thread on here about the look of the "new Mondeo"... won't add it's actually the IOSIS concept car and not a Mondeo (IMHO the Mondeo will be toned down a "bit"). But looking at the Ford website tonight gives an idea how the new interior might look. There's a shot of the SAV (like the IOSIS) and the actual Galaxy. Doesn't take a great mind to conclude the Galaxy is not disimilar and how the new Mondeo might look.

• Suzuki Vitara 2015 on - Looking to buy a Vitara Or SX4 S Cross 12 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  Hi  Im looking for some advice as I will shortly be in the market for a 2015 or later Vitara auto.  I am lead to believe the early auto units are the twin clutch breed, I would like to know if these are reliable and do not have the cultch trouble of some other makes.  I was considering a ford Kuga until I searched for info on this site and thought otherwise As I currently average around 15,000 miles per annum prior to lock down and it looks as if I'll be doing around 8,000, the diesel option would be out.
