Which family-friendly company car do you recommend?
My husband needs to update his company car. He does about 25,000 miles a year so needs a comfortable, fast and fun car to drive. Currently he drives an Audi A6 Avant, but now we're a family of five with three young children under six and a dog, and we frequently travel away at the weekend, so we need something spacious enough for us all, as well as enjoyable and sporty for him as a work car. He also could do with something suitable for towing, if possible. Can you suggest any suitable cars?

A Ford S-Max, which is basically a seven-seater sports car with three separate centre-row seats and two separate seats behind them. You can choose how sporty you want it to be with diesel engines from 115 to 200PS and petrol engines up to 240PS. If he's used to driving an A6 he will be very happy with the S-Max's handling..
