Ford Galaxy (2006 - 2014) 2.0 TDCi Ghia 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

A family man with taste going for the top of the range model with the added extras.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all like the look of it and are happy to travel in it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. The higher mileage ones are bargains. As this is my wife's runabout, the mileage is not an issue. As long as it works, I don't have a problem.

What are you likely to buy next?

A Titanium X. Maybe a petrol Eco-Boost version.

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

£8,000

June 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

A cheap car. It was heavy on miles but with a full service history.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

With 4 kids, we need an MPV!

What was the dealer like?

Excellent. Given the keys and trade plates straight away and allowed to take the car on an extended test drive around Leeds.

What's it like to drive?

Very good and smooth. The engine is responsive and will cruise nicely on the motorway with the cruise control. It handles like a car and will give most cars a run for their money from a standing start. Also, economical.

What's it like to park?

Easy. Good vision and parking sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing. I guess all the niggles had been ironed out by the previous owner over the miles.

What's most practical about your car?

The space. It's a 2 seater and able to act like a van, its a 3/4/5 seater with a massive boot a 6 seater or a full 7 seat MPV with space for bags. The overhead storage is excellent, the door pockets wide to allow kids sweet wrappers to accumulate and drinks holders.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
