Is the Ford S-Max a reliable and safe car option?

I'm considering purchasing a Ford S-Max but I've heard mixed reviews about its reliability and safety features. Can anyone offer personal insight and advice on this car model?

I've owned a Ford S-Max for the past 5 years and have been very happy with its reliability and safety. It's never given me any major issues and has top-of-the-line safety features.

I would not recommend the Ford S-Max for its reliability. Mine has had multiple mechanical issues and the safety features seem average at best.

I've driven my friend's Ford S-Max and found it to be a very reliable and safe car. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a family-friendly vehicle.
