what do you think of the new galaxy??

 

 

Yep getting along with it fine, done just under 5,000 miles. Get about 48MPG.

 

Mine is the 125PS version and I find it a bit sluggish pulling away, it must be a bit better than the 100PS option though.

 

Had a concern about the seats at first as they are very thin on the padding. But I have done a couple of long journeys and they have been comfy enough, although they are a bit narrow. I have stated on here before that the Zetec Galaxy should have the same front seats as the Zetec S-Max which has sportier 'bucket' style and hold you in place much better. But for some reason they are different.

 

I can get all of my work equipment in the back behind the 3rd row of seats & I use the fold out floor as a kind of tonneau cover to stop anything flying forward. I'm sure it's not meant to be used like that but it works fine.

 

 

 

 

 

nice load of uncle henrys there m8

 

:rolleyes:

 

 

Yeah, every time I go to get a new car, I tell myself I will not be getting another Ford this time!! Very nearly went for a Zafira or the Touran this time around.
