Grix17 Clutched August 23, 2012 Share August 23, 2012 Heard the next gen Galaxy will comes with sliding door, just like B-Max. Hopefully it is true. New Ford Galaxy ? Not very pretty. Still boxy and a bit tall. I don't think it will eventually look like that. The pictures look more like B-Max or C-Max. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silklee 3rd Gear March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 Generally, Japanese aircon has better throughput. Sharan might be better because of the placement of vents on the ceiling rather than on the pillars for the Galaxy. Personally, the aircon is cold enough for me as a driver in the Galaxy, but some passengers would prefer it to be colder at the back. .... Can you share a bit more on the airconditioning of the galaxy? My wife and I (and kids) actually went for a test drive of the galaxy quite a while back. I like the drive and my wife likes the interior. The only BIG problem we had was with the airconditioning or rather in that test drive, the almost non existent airconditioning. To put it in context, for some strange reasons, the test drive unit was parked under the hot sun. When we all got into the car, it was already very hot inside. Then, the roads were pretty packed at that time, thus we were caught in a number of little jams, which probably didnt help the airconditioning in cooling down the car. At the end of the short test drive, all of us were sweating.. even for me as the driver, not to mention those at the back. My armpits were sweating.... In real life, is it that bad??

Hamburger Hypersonic September 8, 2017 Share September 8, 2017 I did look at this model but could not accept the overall design. So went for the more contemporary one that is still selling as new in the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Choice - either smax or galaxy Most problems center on the gearbox / sensors / water pump etc... Regular servicing ie follow the service guide will keep yr ride in good condition If your gearbox goes - may cost up to 7K, if yr speed sensor (located in the gearbox) goes, may cost you 2k, if yr water pump goes, may cost you 1 to 2 k The air con if on auto climate control sucks power but if you manually set, yr turbo power comes back Dual clutch takes time to get use to. Downshifts and auto gear selection may cause some discomfort but you will get used to this. Hill assist is good going uphill but if reversing uphill, you need to be more vigilant Fuel consumption is about 8 to 9 km/ltr for 60/40 highway/city driving for Galaxy. Weight is 1.7 ton without passengers so expect this consumption for MPV. Space is good for each seat with seat belts for every one and up to 8 airbags for the Galaxy. Lots of storage space in compartments. Enjoy if you do decide to get the car 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Smax is good..sat in it at the car dealer.. but the spare parts n service is a killer.. but nevertheless is a good mpv.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
