After a year of looking and thinking about a new car, the wife and I decided on the ford. It's a nearly 1 year old 2.0td 180 titanium sport with 2000 miles on the clock. The standard kit is very impressive with loads of extra toys too. We needed a car that could fit 3 car seats in one row or 2 seats and a booster. We did test drive some Octavia's but they just didn't impress us, the superb was just to expensive for what you got including the second hand ones. Vauxhall was a NO from the start. Thought about a 3 series GT but couldn't find one in the spec I wanted. So fingers crossed the ford gives me the same years of trouble free motoring my octy has. I'll be sad to sell the Octavia, we've had it since new, every service done by the dealer we bought it of down in Dunfermline, (170 miles each way) don't worry, that's where were from and visit the family. its 8 years old now and still a good car.

A friend briefly had an S max, I'm sure you won't have trouble with space, they're bloody huge!

He used to take us all down to the next pub in it. But no food allowed.

I'm considering one after the lack of interest from the sales folks at the 2 local VW dealerships to my Touran enquiries as well as Seat dealer.

Is servicing still 10k/year?

Yes if it's a petrol, No if diesel, there every 2 years.

2yrs/20k as with VAG longlife?

Yes about every 2 years for the diesels. No idea why the petrols are every year.
