Long-term report: The Ford S-Max gets back into its stride
The Ford S-Max has been parked up for some time, but it’s now back to full-time work.
Saying 2020 has been a strange year is somewhat of a major understatement. At the end of March, the government imposed a national lockdown to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus which meant many people found themselves stuck indoors with nowhere to go rendering their cars pretty redundant. That included our long-term S-Max Vignale.
As lockdown restrictions start to lift though, the S-Max is slowly getting back into its stride, helping the video team ferry crew and equipment to and from shoots as well as the odd run to the local tip to dispose of half a rainforest’s worth of cardboard boxes. Going crazy on Amazon is another by-product of the lockdown.
Having sat on my driveway for the best part of three months it was quite reassuring that it kicked into life straight away. I know many other motorists have had flat battery issues, and once it had been given a little TLC with a jet wash and some dusting inside, it was ready to go.
