Our first experience of a Ford Galaxy was several years ago when we hired one for a family holiday. We could not believe how comfortable and spacious they were, even with 6 people in the vehicle. We decided to purchase one of our own a few years ago. We got one used from a dealer where it had only been used as a fleet car and had only done motorway mileage. These vehicles are so spacious and the beauty is that you can remove all the seats. It comes in really useful if you have to transport something on the large side. The two front seats are known as captains chairs, and have armrests. You can also swivel them around to face the passengers behind you, so if you are on holiday and the weather is not so good, you can picnic inside the car. This is great if you have small or younger children. It has climate control, cruise control, ABS, immobiliser, 6 CD changer. The windows can be locked and controlled by a button on the driving console. We have had a few niggles with this vehicle, mainly the cruise control only seems to work when it wants to, we have always had a leak in the front windscreen, despite having had it replaced 3 times. It has both passenger and driver airbags, although our model was manufactured 2000 so maybe the newer ones also have the rear airbags. This vehicle is petrol so is quite high on fuel costs, especially with the current fuel prices, it can be expensive when you need new tyres all round and it is high bracket insurance.
