Ford Galaxy (00-06) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Basically the same as VW's Sharan and SEAT's Alhambra. Not as flash as the Renault Espace but well liked by owners and less van-like than some big MPVs. Equipment levels are adequate; all have air-con, good security and lots of safety equipment. And like-for-like, it's cheaper than VW's Sharan.

Comfort

All engines are refined, although the TDIs need 10 or 15 minutes to warm up. Wind noise on the motorway is minimal and road noise is not a problem.

3.5 out of 5

Practicality

The seats are heavy and awkward to remove. The load area isn't very big, so if you're carrying luggage, the rear two seats need to come up. But once out, there's lots of space for boxes or large objects. Rear two passengers may find the back a bit of a squeeze.

Behind the wheel

Commanding driving position with good all-round visibility - even when it's fully loaded. Driving position is natural with a clear view of the instruments and easy access to all of the controls. Steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake.
