    Hi Lee,

    I recently bought a S-Max Titanium X Sport. So far I can say that the car is very comfortable and ease to drive.  

    The engine I choose is 2.0 163hp diesel and seems to be more than enough even when the car is fully loaded.

    I choose auto transmission as that is my preference. The transmission is 6 speed and change the gears properly and smoothly. 

    I found few problems with the car, but I don't thing that some of them are common, however one of the problem is with the DAB radio, which does't work and that seems to be a common problem. If you press the DAB and the radio does't scan and find anything, it might be a module fault which is common.

    Than it what I can say so far as I don't have a lot of experience.

    Good luck
