Good Points
Very few.

Bad Points
Well it has to be said this is truly the worst car I have ever had the misfortune to own!

General Comments
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 might as well have set fire to the money for all the good it has done!

I will never buy another Ford again. I shall look to the land of the rising sun for a reliable vehicle in future....

Did you have a warranty? If you did then you could have got the discs changed at no cost. This vehicle is renowned for bad discs; I had the same myself, but I changed to a different product. Other than that I've not had any problems.
 
 FMC can sometimes be unhelpful, so you need to go to forums like this to establish and gain helpful hints and tips.
 
 Sorry to hear you got a bad one.

I just got a used 2005 vr6 2.8 ford galaxy, but I am worried the transmission might be bad, the vehicle does 120km/h with revs up to 3,500rpm, are they usually like that?
