  • Subaru Tribeca or Ford S-Max 2.5T? 30 Mar 2011 (Forum)
    under £16,000. However I got thinking about alternatives. Without spending fortunes on BMW X5s or Audi Q7s, I had a quick look on Autotrader and came up with some very well specified Ford S-Maxs with the Volvo T5 engine. The only downside is a manual gearbox, but the upside is more space than

  • Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Tyre goo 4 Aug 2008 (Forum)
    Bought an S-max. I like it, however in keeping with lots of modern cars there's no spare, just goo and a compressor. Have been thinking that this will be a real pain if I do get a puncture, and I think ruins a possibly repairable tyre. Does anyone know if there are any tyre breakdown services
