New Galaxy - daveyjp

Had a chance to see one yesterday, but locked up so I could only peer through the windows. Usual problem - 7 seats but little luggage space with them all up. The one on display was a 2.0TDi Zetec and looked well specced, but the 15 inch wheels looked too small.

The handbrake lever is huge - more reminiscent of a throttle control lever from a 1950s Russian heavy freighter aircraft and it looks very close to the gearstick - it's also in a position where kids climbing around (as they do in such vehicles) could damage the handbrake or themselves.

It was priced at just over £23,000, the standard equipment took up over half a page of A4, only extra was metallic paint.

New Galaxy - Martin Sweeney

I can?t comment on the Galaxy, but I?ve just had an S-max for the last 4 days and it was a cracking car. Beleive ot or not the handbrake has a lovely fluid action, really nice to use. If I get a chance this afternoon I'll post more details.
