Ford is always pushing the boundaries in order to produce quality vehicles. New and used Ford cars enjoy a great deal of popularity and certain members of their range have occupied the top spots in sales figures for the UK over the last few years.

The new models that Ford produces always attract a good deal of interest and the latest glimpse of the future relates to the Ford Escape. The 2013 Ford Escape is something to watch out for. The Escape is a compact 4×4 that really fits the bill for those who need plenty of space but also need a versatile car that is capable of handling more demanding conditions.

Utility vehicles tend to offer a high standard of practicality, but what they don’t always offer is comfort and driving pleasure. This is something that Ford actually already delivers on. The Ford Kuga brings the practical elements of a 4×4 alongside other considerations like a great drive, comfortable interiors and excellent in car facilities.

The next generation of the Ford Escape is likely to take these properties and build on them to add a sense of luxury to a car that is also eminently functional.

When you start to raise a family you have to make a number of changes, not just in your lifestyle, but in terms of your home and the car you drive. You can’t very well carry on with a sporty little car if you’re going to have to use it to ferry the kids around, and if your family is likely to get larger, you need to make preparations.

However, just because your family is growing, that does not mean that you have to sacrifice being able to get an excellent drive out of your car. A great example of a car that was designed to appeal to people who love to drive, but who also need to accommodate their families, is the Ford S-Max.

The Ford S-Max is the shining light when it comes to MPVs that are capable of providing all the excitement and enjoyment of driving a hot hatch. Essentially, the S-Max is the Ford Focus that has grown up a little bit and has taken responsibility for the family.

The S-Max is now getting a bit of a modification from Ford who are no doubt pleased with the reputation it is building up among motorists, having revolutionised the concept of the MPV. Unable to wait for the new version? You can get your hands on one of these used Ford cars from your local dealer.

When you’re driving your children around, your perspective on what makes a great car changes slightly and you concentrate on a different set of key features. The Ford S-Max is one of the leading family cars on the market and there are a number of reasons for this.

Safety

The S-Max is a really safe and secure car. This is something that takes priority when you have a family. All models of this car have airbags in the front and back as well as ESP and anti-lock brakes.

Comfort

Driving a car full of people can be incredibly uncomfortable if you aren’t driving the right car. Where the Ford S-Max excels is in driving comfort. Lots of legroom and headroom make long journeys a much more pleasant experience.

Quality

The S-Max is designed to be able to withstand regular use by families. Some cars can’t handle this, but the S-Max displays superb build quality that is really hardwearing but doesn’t compromise on style.

Ride

Just because you are driving a family vehicle doesn’t mean you should have to suffer a drab ride. The S-Max, like most Ford cars, is great fun when you’re behind the wheel and it demonstrates excellent handling.

If you are not in the market for a new family car, then see what deals you could pick up on a used Ford S-Max from your local used dealer.
