Ford S-MAX

A fine fourth place finish for practicality can’t mask an otherwise disappointing scoresheet.

Positions of 96th for reliability and 92nd for build suggest Ford’s quality control is going awry, while 90th for ease of driving is a poor advert for a car designed to haul families around the country in style.
