  • The Ford Galaxy is now in its third generation and remains the largest of four MPVs currently made by Ford. It offers slightly more space and flexibility than the sportier Ford S-MAX and now, thanks to an upmarket interior and plenty of cutting-edge technology, is a very comfortable and refined proposition, too.

    We've just got a used Jan-2018 Titanium X. Doesn't have the electric back row, has straps to pull that work very easily and the infotainment system is different, doesn't have the 3-pin mains socket, nor window blinds. The review model must be Titanium X plus additional extras. But we love it, done 2,000 miles, some in very hot weather M25 traffic jams, in 4 weeks with various all-adults passenger mixes and loads including clothes, bicycles, chickens, heavy duty tools. It suits our use almost perfectly

    Very similar to the vw Sharan which has a deeper boot and provides a quality ride on highways with a 1.4L engine with a powerful enough A/c to cool a family of 7 members, giving around 40-50 mpg on motor ways Vs 33 mpg urban

    I think you can move the back seats forward so you have more boot space that's enough for seven average adults and four or five average luggage in the boot
    space wise so much better then the vw Sharon
