well, today I saw a new reg blue s-max on the road just outside PJ Hilton, maybe it is a registered test car. It should be out soon, hopefully.

I have been spotting a white S-Max in Paramount Garden PJ for the past week at around 6pm, may be is a manager's test car. Very good reviews on this one, beats all MPVs in driving dynamics. Can't wait to test.....
Cars, Oh cars......

the s-max can really run! handling is pretty decent... it is afterall an mpv. but the ecoboost 2.0 turbo is fast. my relative has one and i had the pleasure of experiencing if over the last few days. also heard that the s-max will be making an inroad in a couple of months time and to be priced in the the 170k to 190k region.
IF the Smax launches with a 170 to 190 sticker price, it will definitely fall flat as the peugot/citroen grand picasso is only 140-160 and estimas are always available at that same price either....

If I am not mistaken, S Max is much larger than 5008, I can't even get myself into the last row of 5008. Tried that in 2 showrooms but just couldn't fit myself in. The power of S Max is much higher also.
As for Estima, you can only get a 5 year old one for that price. A 5 year old car with less technology and power and no warranty!!! Sounds like a lousy choice....
Anyway Ford car never sell well in Malaysia whatever the reason...

5008 is a joke. So small space and the 2nd and 3rd row seats are so small. I rather get a Wish though it is a recon and cheaper by a lot. No offence to those 5008 owners. Just that for MPV size it is not there. Also reliability issues that took long to resolved.
director's choice
