Took your advice and looked again. Have now opted for a brand spanking new Galaxy Ghia. Great deal using government scrappage allowance.

 

Delivery in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it.

 

Anyone know if it worth having the Smart Guard applied (

Smart guard is OK so long as you won't be putting the car through an automatic car wash, and don't intend washing it much anyway. So long as you wash it regularly with plenty of water and car shampoo, and give it an occasional polish, there's not much to be gained by the Smartguard/Supa Guard treatments (IMHO)

Sorry - not about Smart guard, I wondered how the new Gal compares to the Shalambra in terms of the rear seats. We have an aging Galaxy which we are looking to change. I had been leaning towards a 2007 Sharan because the seats are identical to the old Galaxy's. We have 4 teenagers (our own - not kidnapped) However, mate is saying for that money why buy a 12 yr old design when I could get the new shape Galaxy, a more modern looking car. But I was concerened that the seats would be the slide in the floor type which might not be as comfortable as those in the old galaxy. Can anyone advise please?

have since driven the mk3 (2007) galaxy thanks to a mate who runs a car rental business. Our concerns about the rear seats were unfounded. The sitting position is more or less identical to mk1 & 2 gals but there is more leg room and elbow room, plus more room for luggage. And the way the seats fold flat is good. So am on the look out for a nearly new Galaxy, our R reg 1.9tdi about to be pensioned off after 11yrs service.
