Bought 3½-year old ex-Motability Jan18 Titanium X automatic 49k miles 5 weeks ago. Done 2k miles: London North Wales, 2 people clothes, heavy duty tools, carbon fibre bike, and pick up 2.4 metre fence posts; London Dorset 4 adults, clothes, swimming, running gear, drop chickens off at sitter; also London Birmingham, London Hastings. All in summer heat loving the aircon and sun roof (not same time). Not yet carried 6 passengers. Stunningly suitable for our needs. Wonderfully sedate drive for me and passengers. Previous owner's satnav favourites show he mostly did long motorway journeys. Never driven automatic before but left foot pains made me check out the option. D mode is fine for economy but the gear changes are weird and not ideal, especially when cresting a rise in town traffic. Using S mode not as 'sport' but as 'stay in lower gear' to control low speed in, eg, downhill 20mph in traffic in town - have now got used to swapping between D and S modes as a rough equivalent to using a manual car and it works great. I, wife, and everyone whose been in it, love it. AWD and 190bhp for narrow lanes in North Wales in winter might have been useful but that version is rare on the used market, less economical in general use, and we didn't have time to wait for one we could afford. Recommended to us by two neighbours and we strongly agree. Expecting to use as microbus for elderly friends and relatives on days out and church weekend-aways. Also to take tools, buy and pick up stuff for jobs on friend and family homes over 200 miles from us. Brilliant!

I've tried both S-Max and the Galaxy, I purchased the Galaxy. The Galaxy is only 2 inches longer, but ask a woman, two more inches make a difference ! I'm 6.1F (186cm) and I can sit on all seats, even on the 3rd row. When the second and third rows are down, I can even lie down (it's about 2m) The downside of owning such car being parking ! Good luck finding a place to park in town !

I do not think that the size of this car is so large that you cannot park it, Believe me it differs from the sedan by a small difference.

I rented this car with my family on my trip to the Czech Republic in the summer of 2019. This car is wonderful with a 4 cylinder diesel engine and can accommodate 7 people, and it was economical in fuel and accelerating excellently.

@@aldstv1963 Of course, I traveled on this car from Prague to Slovakia, Poland and Hungary, it is a great car in terms of stability on long roads and fuel economy, I recommend this car because it is suitable in the city and highways. I would like to own a Ford Galaxy, but this type is not available in my country.

Yes, just goes to show what a massive, opinionated, self-assured bell end he is. Clarkson, not Galaxy. Tell you what, if you don't like MPVs, buy yourself an SUV or an Audi like the rest of knob-heads I see on the road. It won't make you a better driver, though. I'm a pro driver, I drove fast cars and I love my Galaxy. You know what they said about Mike Tyson? He was moving too fast for his size. He shouldn't be that fast, he moved like much smaller man. The same can be said about Galaxy, being that big it drives like a compact car. So agile, so responsive. Fun to drive plus massive amount of space. So big that if my wife kicks me out someday, I still will have a place to live.

HipHop al Dude. Don’t take this the hard way. But do you really think all European cars are even better than American cars? You can’t deny that at least some European car makes are garbage too, which is why only some don’t even sell here in America. So it doesn’t really make any sense to make in fun of American cars when Europe has a fair share of poorly built cars too. Just take a look at both the Smart Fortwo and the regular model Fiat 500 and tell me how “fantastic” they look. Now to be fair, I actually like SOME car makes from Europe. (Mainly Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, Jaguar, Land Rover, MINI, and of course BMW) But it won’t really hurt anyone to just let go of the nonsense of other cars being better than something from other countries like America or Japan, and at least actually try out something from Ford, General Motors, etc. before you start making a mess. Just saying...
