    Good Points: Comfortable with all types of journey, speed when you want it, excellent MPG (I've had 32 mpg on numerous occasions - Petrol), CD system, de-iceing of wind screen is very quick, on board computer, no rust on the car (bearing in mind its age) and excellent leg space for passengers.


    Bad Points: Brake discs are of poor quality - I had them changed 5 times under warranty, juddering was poor, but changed to alternative product with no problems. 'Service-in' keeps coming up on screen even just after a service - bit of a bummer but i can live with that. Three dash board lights have stopped working (need advice on replacing as I'm getting ready to sell - can I DIY the job???) which is a bit inconvenient during nighttime. Having to keep taking the seats out when using it as a van is also a pain and the speaker covers are very timid.


    General comments: The Ford Galaxy 2.8i Ghia is still a very good vehicle to drive with a good driving view and it's still in excellent condition (even with 4 kids). Found the V6 untroubled when fully loaded - had the BHP when it needed it, as apposed to the 2.3 Zetec. A/C & Eco system are very good - I've had no problems contrary to what I've read in other reviews. It's been very reliable for the 5/half years I've owned it with only 65k on the clock and a FSH.
    I'm presently selling this vehicle due to other business commitments, as I would like it to go to a good home if possible.
    The new Galaxy looks good.

    I have now owned the Ford Galaxy 2.8i V6 Ghia for 3 1/2 years and have only fitted tyres and new brakes and disks all round. I have been extremely happy with the performance of this vehicle and have quite often outrun some of these boy racers.

    I bought this car second hand eight months ago and have had nothing but trouble with it since.
    The car suffers with extremely bad vibration at 20mph and again at 50-60 mph so much so that I had to pull over on numerous occasions as I thought the engine was about to fall out! The car has so far had a new gearbox, new suspension, track rod ends, bottom ball joints, discs, new brakes, tracking, engine mounts, and still it shakes itself to bits
    I have spent nearly £2,000 on repairs when I mi ...
