Ford Galaxy (2006 - 2014) 2.0 TDCi (140bhp) Zetec 5d (2011/11) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

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

We've had no complaints!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes; like the practicality and looks.

What are you likely to buy next?

That depends how long we keep this one. If one of the children has left home then probably a medium to large estate, otherwise same again.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

September 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. Price competetive.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We specifically chose a large people carrier and were keen to stick with a Ford.

What was the dealer like?

Very helpful and honest. Addressed all minor issues prior to sale.

What's it like to drive?

Very good handling for such a large car, being much better than our old Galaxy; very quiet cruising on motorway; can be difficult to get a smooth getaway from standstill but less of an issue with practice; plenty powerful enough with either seven people or five and a boot filled for a week's camping; the handbrake lever is slightly awkward, being orientated at 90 degrees to usual, but you get used to it.

What's it like to park?

Parking sensors make it easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No.

What's most practical about your car?

The way in which the five rear seats fold into the floor. Before this car we had the previous model Galaxy from which seats needed to be removed which was difficult and required forward planning.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control very useful (non-standard on Zetec).
