Guest Cepheus Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Welcome Matt, Have a good look through the Caravanning section on the site and you will see plenty of reviews in favour of the Galaxy as a tow car. Have a nice stay :lol: Paul Quote
Dave-G Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Howdy matt, do a search for "towing caravan" and you'll find enough info from oodles of people to keep you busy all evening. ATB, Dave. Quote
littledaz Posted January 27, 2007 Report Posted January 27, 2007 Hi Matt, welcome to the forum (find it strange saying that as I've only been here 2 weeks myself :D ). Agree with the others, check out the caravanning section. I looked there when I was interested in a caravan, lots of info. As for my opinion on the Galaxy.........fantastic. Had mine since May last year and still love driving it. Done some trailer towing, no caravans. Didn't feel the trailer at all and had to stop to see if it was still there once. Recommend the diesel variants as they have tremendous torque for towing, good fuel economy, respectable power and yeah....I own one :) Did hire a Zafira on holiday last year and find the Galaxy far superior (no insult intended) :) Darren Quote
Littlematt_2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Posted January 27, 2007 thank you all for the good welocmes i will search for some information..... Regards, Matt Quote
gregers Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 Did hire a Zafira on holiday last year and find the Galaxy far superior (no insult intended) im deeply offended <_> Quote
littledaz Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 That's it! I've managed to upset a Mod in my first 3 weeks of being on the forum. I'll have to watch myself now :19: Seriously though (as I quickly backtrack) I do like the Zafira but, I asked for a large seven seater on holiday as we had 5 adults and a four year old. They turned up with a Zafira and my four year old would not sit in the 3rd row of seats. That meant my mother-in-law and occasionally my father-in-law, who is 6ft 2in, had to sit in the 3rd row. It was a bit of a squash as you can imagine. I do hope you'll forgive me gregers, please, pretty please? <_< Quote
