Great fun with all the seats out and an airbed inside.
Visability . Handles like a Mondeo.
Bad Points
The aircom failed early on, cost £1000 to repair and failed again just outside 12000 miles of change. Disconnected it! Not really needed in Wales.
General Comments
What a load of moaners below. This is my second Ford Galaxy. This one has done 265,000 miles! Petrol engine. Same clutch same exhaust!
Has had 2 coil packs and 1 extra set of discs all around.
It was hammered as hard as it could be, up hill, down dale and around the bend. Has never let me down. Was only serviced every 20k miles by mistake. (sales guy!)
My third will be delivered in July 06.
Goes like a rocket, I guess after 260k miles I've loosened the engine up a little.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Whats the best used 7 seater? Not people carrier! in The AnswerBank:
I know all the bad press about 4x4s etc, but I hate people carriers. What decent 7 seater can you recommend, must be reliable and not too expensive on servicing.

While not underpowered, I would be fairly skeptical of the comment that "it goes like a rocket". Mine does 0-60 in 18s, which I would be hard pressed to class as "rocket" grade performance.
