The FORD S-MAX (2006-10) 5DR MPV 2.0 FLEXFUEL 145 ZETEC is a roomy, five-door family MPV, offering a more car-like alternative to a large van-shaped people carrier. In the UK used-car market, it sits between mainstream family cars and larger seven-seat options, appealing to households needing flexible space without moving to an SUV. The Zetec trim and 145bhp 2.0-litre engine make it suited to school runs, shopping and longer family journeys, with useful room for passengers and luggage. Its Flexifuel system can use petrol or E85 where available, giving owners a choice, although petrol is the practical default for many. Compared with rivals such as the Volkswagen Touran, it is known for a more engaging, car-like drive. Mycarcheck records are limited: five checks covered two VINs.
