Are you guys getting the ford s-max, it is like a mondeo MPV, here is a pic

whippet_zetec · 28-06-2006, 10:30 AM

not that I am aware, but boy do I wish we were.....I'd snap one up as the family mobile for sure

jim1606 · 29-06-2006, 03:40 AM

they are very sporty, but id prefer summin a lil smaller cause i am only 18, summin like a fiesta ST or focus ST

That is one nice-looking people mover. Maybe they'll bring it down. If there is demand for it...

murcod · 29-06-2006, 12:29 PM

Reminds me of the Honda Odyssey! Is it a similar size or smaller?

Zetec20 · 29-06-2006, 12:33 PM

i like it, that's hot

Reminds me of the Honda Oddesey

It looks great man, It's a shame we can't get it over here.
It would make a great family car.
Even the Focus wagon should be over here.

jim1606 · 29-06-2006, 07:15 PM

size wise it is a bit smaller than the galaxy, we dont have the honda odyssey

it is bigger than a zafira but smaller than a fulll sized MPV but it has 7 seats and all of that

murcod · 29-06-2006, 10:48 PM

Yep, we used to get the old model Zafira too. When we got the Astra wagon Holden discontinued the Zafira?!

Here's a pic of an Odyssey:

jim1606 · 30-06-2006, 03:44 AM

It kinda looks like Ford Focus crossed with a Honda Odyssey.

So how much does it cost for the ford Focus s-max?
Can you post up Hp, colour, options for me thanks?

jim1606 · 01-07-2006, 04:53 AM

www.ford.co.uk usually is the best place to see what we miss out on.

Is the S-Max available with a Turbo-Diesel engine? I think Ford Australia are planning on introducing a Turbo-Diesel in the Focus range this year.

jim1606 · 01-07-2006, 07:48 PM

All i know is that it will hold the focus ST engine.

FRA · 02-07-2006, 05:05 PM

After checking out everything this car has to offer I have to say I AM impressed. We are actually looking at upgrading to a Territory next year for a 7seater car but would much rather have one of these. Couple of questions though.
Is it FWD or RWD? Does it have AWD option? Also the Territory back seats hold a max weight of 100kg.....does this one too?

All the options are amazing...including the petrol options for deisel/petrol/gas. Wish our Ford dealers could offer us options like this. The voice activation and moving headlights is incredible.

Would love one. Where do we go? lol

Go to ford.com.au and demand one, if any of you like it contact them if they have enough interest then they might consider it!!! even if you wont buy ne say you want one any they could brig it over, what side of the road do you drive?

Fast Eddie · 03-07-2006, 02:53 PM

Right hand drive cars here, hence we're on the left side of the road.

only issue bringing one over is getting it through compliance.

There shouldn't be much of a problem, if it was coming from the US It would be cut launch.
It should pass with flying colours.
Wouldn't it be funny to go down to your Ford dealer here Australia and ask for a car service...LOL It would turn a few heads for sure. What model is it sir, I'm not sure we heared of that...lol

I really don't think Ford Australia would do that, even if we paid Ford in full incl shipping etc, I would be shock if Ford agree.
I'll email them and see what they say.

We could do it ourself but its abit of cut launch to fly over order it and bring it back if you know what I mean.

Teki04 · 03-07-2006, 08:34 PM

FRA - you obviously do not understand the import laws. You need to have lived in the UK for 12 months before bringing the car to Aust. Unless it is a pre-something model. I think it was pre-1986. Could be wrong with that year though...

But all new cars... you must have lived in the UK for a minimum of 12 months

jim1606 · 04-07-2006, 07:29 AM

well i know we can get nissan dealers here to import japenese cars, but i am sure they could, you will have to ask. I will ask ford UK and see there response!

FRA · 04-07-2006, 08:44 AM

It's ok. We do know people who import cars from both the UK and the States. Just saying that it would be a bit of a hassle to have to organise it all instead of just the standard....going to the dealer. Especially for just a one off family car.

It would be good to hear what Ford UK have to say though.

simonr · 07-07-2006, 10:04 AM

They are featuring this car on Fifth Gear next week...
They are taking it round the track wit the whole family as passangers or someting..

jim1606 · 07-07-2006, 08:24 PM

oh cool, sounds fun!

ondori · 08-07-2006, 02:44 PM

inside it even better, I hope some of features make there way to the future ford models
