    didn't initially fancy an MPV but I sat in a Ford S-Max yesterday and it did seem more roomy and comfortable and the visibility was a lot better than the Cross/SUVs we tried (Mazda CX-5, Qashqai, VW Touareg, Ford Kuga etc).  Is this the best of the MPV bunch for comfort and space? what else should I

    a 52 reg S class which has just gone through a service without one additional penny being spent on it.
