Goodbye Forester, hello S-Max ?
Thinking about a change at the end of the year. Currently have a Forester Turbo S, but would like something that has a bit more space for kiddie seats but would also be fun to drive. Does anyone have any experience with the Ford S Max? The 2.5 turbo looks like a good steer (200ps engine) and is awarded an EU "C" rating for energy efficiency, so our company car lease policy would allow it (A- C only, Forester is an F).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Funnily enough I would consider changing our Forester in a couple of years time, just as the Ford S-Max hits 3 years old (and they at least half in value with good old Ford depreciation!)

Why get the petrol? The vehicle although said to be good to drive is still huge. You may as well get the 140 diesel remap it and save on your tax.
A torque laden diesel is going to be more use more of the time to someone who loads the thing up with family and kit.
Can't believe I'm saying the diesel makes more sense but in this type of vehicle it does.
