Ford S-Max, 2011, Lahti

Ford S-Max 2.0 EcoBoost 203 hp PowerShift Titanium Business A6

This car is for someone with a large family, many friends, or an unusually keen willingness to volunteer as the group's driver.

The Ford S-Max offers seating for seven, so children, grandparents, neighbours and that one person who always says they'll come along at the last minute all fit in. With everyone on board, the 203-hp EcoBoost engine ensures the journey doesn't turn into a test of patience.

The driver has an electrically adjustable seat so you can find a comfortable driving position regardless of who drove last and why the seat was left almost reclining. Leather-Alcantara upholstery adds a touch of class, even if raisins are eaten on the back seats and people argue about who looks at whom the wrong way.

The Sony audio system takes care of the music and, when needed, keeps the rear-seat negotiations from being audible to the driver all the time. Cruise control makes longer trips easier and automatic climate control aims to keep peace in the cabin, at least temperature-wise.

This is a 2011 S-Max first registered in February 2011. The odometer reads approximately 250,000 km, so the car has seen life, miles and probably a few rushed departures.
