But think S-MAX = Mondeo and Grand C-MAX = Focus. Unless you want the bigger car feel, go for the Grand C-MAX. Don't chuck the Mazda5 1.6 diesel out of the window either. The centre rear seat fold isn't as clever as the Grand C-MAX, but it "feels" a bit bigger and the cheaper TS2 has a nice, soft, but grippy front end, ideal for bad road
While the Galaxy is a true seven-seater, the S-MAX is best described as a five-seater with two additional seats for occasional use. Although the two cars look very similar from the front, the S-MAX boasts a rakish, almost estate car -style roofline. Both cabins are similar, but the S-MAX is a bit more driver-focused. g0YL.
