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
Thank you Mat for a typically excellent review of this beast of a car. Its a first class way to move 7 people in comfort, but they can't bring any luggage though.
yes we could when i was 7 years young my parents had this car because they have 4 children inclouding me (total 6) we did go to skieeng resorts with this thing worked really well do have to note that 4 chidren dont take up much space so where we had legroom we put bags of clothing and stuff
Hope I'm not being stupid here, but are those head restraints in the back not awful low? Even if you could lift them up would they still not be too low to protect anyone?
+Grant Kidd Got a 2010 Galaxy and the restraints are set low when not in use to improve rear visibility. They do however extend considerably. I'm 6ft 4 and they're fine for me.
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
Hey Matt....Whats your opinion about the new Audi Q3 2016 suspension? Is it the old one .....or they changed it...?? Cuz I have the old one and I'm thinking on to the next..??
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
Which car you suggest between the Ford Galaxy, the VW Sharan or the Seat Alhambra? And why? I'm looking to buy a Diesel with ca. 150HP Thanks so much for the advice
Only if you can, you should do a review of japanese grey-imports mpv such as toyota vellfire. They have loads of space in the back, complete with first class ottoman seats.
This interior looks very nice indeed. Too bad those who'd rather have a Mondeo aren't quite treated to the same level of sophistication. Oh, and material quality isn't up to scratch, on both models...
Games1234 Are you talking about the models he mentioned? If so, what I meant was that the reason those cars havent and won't be reviewed on this channel is because they aren't sold in the UK. If you meant that the Ford Galaxy isn't sold in the UK or Ireland then: m.ford.co.uk/Cars/AllNewGalaxy
Jamie B They're retract into the seats I imagine, like they do in the Focus CC It's so you can still see out of the back window when there's nobody in the car you don't want loads of headrests blocking the view.
You will notice ALL powered tailgates are slow, the reason is to stop you trapping your child in the door, or even yourself. Its all down to our compensation culture
The back seats dont seem to be made for anyone over the age of 8!? The backrests are tiny. Whiplash warning there!! Now someone is gonna say that you can pull the headrests up but really!? How many people actually do that!?
If you have 182cm 8 year olds you must share their diet. Headrests are like seatbelts - idiots are too lazy to use them properly, but intelligent types do.

These are very expensive and does not seem to have petrol engines alot. At least here in finland where diesel engine Costs you 700€ extra taxes/year it is a problem
THERE IS ALSO SPACE FOR THE DRIVERS NUTS!!! Weird. Anyway the galaxy is the best people carrier.The only MPV that could hold a candle to it is the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso.
Today was the second time I had the opportunity to test drive this car. (150hp/ Manual Gear/ 18 inch wheels) Unfortunately as it stands today this vehicle is still miles away from the "pleasure" one can have driving a VW Sharan. The galaxy is quite noisy and quality appears poor. User interface is also (sync3) not the best .....
I think in my opinion all the new fords are basically the same as the old models for example the new fiesta is basically the same but the front is a bit different and the mondeo is really dated

Very nice MPV. I'm using the 2009 model, running at 2.0 tdci engine with 330.000 km's on it. Drives like new, want to keep it till 500.000 km : )
Wat MPG you get whit it?🤔
Thank god, finally a place to store my huge nuts!! Thank you Ford!
If your pull out game is weak, this is what you have to look forward to.

Great video Matt! I love these Ford MPV videos. Also I have a question. Will you do a review for the all new Ford C-Max or Ford S-Max? Thanks.
Just bought a 2008 galaxy and I love it
"theres even space, for the drivers nuts!" XD hahahahaha good one carbuyer i love your reviews!
Very good MVP, the only problem is the boots space, Seat Alhambra got more with the 7 seats up
I'm 23 years old with no girlfriend/children... yet i've just watched this whole review...
haha , i think i just enjoy the reviews in general :)
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 always wished we had one of these
Great car and great review!!

Thanks so much for the advice
What did you decide for? My criteria are reliability, fuel economy, and safety
@@n.s.5278 i ended up not buying one.
We had to relocate to the US for work and none of these models are available in the US.
@@c-hd5696 nice. Hope you're enjoying life in the USA.
Those seats look very comfortable
Love the nut box & the head cam Matt even if it does make you look a bit daft. Commitment to the job eh.
Omg Matt, I cannot help but notice your huge biceps every single time when I watch ur review!!!!! ;)
+Sebin Oh Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Which Ford galaxy is this? I love this car
What is with the mini-me rear seats? They look tiny!
"So you could even install a microwave oven back here." Hahaha!! :'D
Are those the standard 17" alloy wheels?
why are the backs of the back seats so low??? (i know they try to make it appear more roomy, but still they are way too low).
very helpful i will buy one next week
Have u buy it share your experience with me please
Thank you for the video. :) Quality review! Like the car.
Only if you can, you should do a review of japanese grey-imports mpv such as toyota vellfire. They have loads of space in the back, complete with first class ottoman seats.

Great video
Can you guys review japanese mpv like toyota voxy or vellfire or alphard or noah or wish???
It's only for cars on the UK market I think mate.
They don't sell those models in the UK OR Ireland ☺️
Games1234 Are you talking about the models he mentioned? If so, what I meant was that the reason those cars havent and won't be reviewed on this channel is because they aren't sold in the UK.

I feel your pain... I would like one of those or a Nissan Elgrand and convert to LPG... I guess Japan will have me as a guest, one of these days...
What’s the VW equivalent?
I love pork scratchings! 😂
No headrests in middle or back seats?
Jamie B They're retract into the seats I imagine, like they do in the Focus CC
It's so you can still see out of the back window when there's nobody in the car you don't want loads of headrests blocking the view.

Still No sliding doors the electric ones on VW sharan/seat Alhambra are a boon in tight British supermarket parking spaces
I have electric Alhambra doors and they are slow and annoying.
@@dp8685 really i have the same and 4 kids and they are lovely considering the kids can't slam it 🙂
With all 7 seats up, the Smax has more room in the boot?

Patrick M you cant afford a galaxy Sharon is cheaper.
