Is the Ford S-Max a reliable family car?

I am considering purchasing a Ford S-Max for my growing family. I want to make sure it is a reliable car and will last us for years to come. Can anyone share their experience with this car and any potential red flags to be aware of?

I have been driving a Ford S-Max for the past 5 years and it has been incredibly reliable for my family of four. The key is to make sure you stay on top of regular maintenance and follow the recommended service schedule.

I bought a used Ford S-Max and have had nothing but problems with it. Constant engine issues and electrical malfunctions. I would not recommend it as a reliable family car.

I have had my Ford S-Max for 8 years now and it still runs like a dream. As long as you take care of it and keep up with maintenance, it will last you a long time.
