Ford Galaxy road test reports and car reviews

Ford Galaxy Ghia 2009

Only had the vehicle 10 weeks and done 14k. Up to now it has measured up to my expectations, the only disappointment I have had with this vehicle is that it comes with no spare wheel, and there is no option of one. So at the cost of approx &pound200 I have had to purchase a steel wheel and tyre and jack and wheel brace. In the trade that this vehicle is used in along with others that will be sold this is not very acceptable. If I had known before buying the vehicle I probably wouldn’t have.

If this was purchased new from a Ford Dealership, then the Salesman should have stated that this car does not have a spare wheel, and fully explain to the customer - Keith Ellinor from Essex

Ford Galaxy Zetec TDI 130 PS man 2004

Excellent car. Has never gone wrong in nearly 4 years of driving, reliable, enjoyable to drive, bags of room. Price-to-value and reliability beats the opposition hands down. The gearbox in particular is the smoothest of any car I have ever owned. Sorry to hand it back and just hope the new Galaxy is as good. I can heartily recommend the Ford Galaxy.

I had a 1.8 TDI Galaxy for 15 months. It was the most economical car I ever owned. Never below 48 mpg on Urban Route and 54 mpg on Motorway Route. Pity it was so unreliable, requiring 5 replacement car batteries within the first 12 months. Leave it for a few days without using it and the battery would be completely flat, and not hold any recharge. Eventually FMC admitted there was a concern via a TSB. My car was attended to as a result of the TSB, and would only give a flat battery after 6 weeks. I got rid of the Car! - Keith Ellinor from Essex

Ford Galaxy 125 BHP Ghia 6 sp 2007

Great drive either on Motorway or secondary roads. Good punchy acceleration. Low down Turbo lag lets it down around town, very refined, economical and comfortable - average 43 mpg over last 15k miles.

I love this car. I originally bought it with the wife and kids in mind but have found driving it a real pleasure. It’s a great package and the whole family (including the dog) really enjoy travelling in it. Definitely recommended.
