I have driven this car for the past 2 years and clocked around 34k KM. View quite a number of options before deciding to buy the Ford galaxy. Having driven a turbo charged engine car before, i will not settle for the usual Toyota Estima where pick up is slow.
Driven twice to KL, cruising was good on North-South Highway. powerful engine makes it a breeze to drive. Warranty by Regent Motors will settle some minor repairs. Even after warranty, there is still a Ford specialist workshop at Sin Ming that offers fast , reliable and reasonably priced maintenance.
Overall a powerful and comfortable MPV to drive.

1st review after 3000KM `
|
|
I just got this car in May. Nice power but definitely saw all the issues that GRIX17 mentioned. The one feature that i liked is the voice activation for the aircon, phone and sound system. It takes a bit of time to figure it out but it is really great for safety as you can dail without touching your phone. Just do not store too many names and if you have 2 drivers, programme your own directory. The system do not do well with 2 different voices recognizing the same names.
Another feature that i like is the fact that the driver seat returns to the position that the driver last left it with the passive key. As my car is often driven by my wife and myself, this is really nice.

My 2nd review after 7500 km with my Galaxy Ecoboost `
|
|
After driving for about 7500 km, I can give a more accurate review than my first one. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving the car, except in traffic jams mostly.
However, I am going to be much more critical than in my first review.
Nitpicking is the goal here.
Some changes since my first review:
1) After reprogramming the ECU, the gearbox is no longer jerky - easy to manipulate at slow speeds (and switched to RON 98)
2) iPod connectivity is good with a 3-line display, but you need the right cable
3) I am used to the mirrors and they are really good with blind spots
4) I found out that the 3rd row seats can slide forward!
Overall, I am very happy with the car and would rate it 16/20.
Leow Ju-Len recently rated it 14/20 in Top Gear Singapore's June 2011 issue.

Best full-sized turbocharged MPV around `
|
|
I have driven about 150 km so far. Driving on optional 235/45 R18 RE050A tyres. Handling is as good as you can get for a large MPV, though there will still be a bit of body roll when you take corners too quickly. Steering feedback is good.
Having previously driven a hybrid MPV, I am still getting used to the dual-clutch gearbox and T/C engine. Hybrids are better suited for stop-start traffic certainly. Powerful engine nonetheless, but still running-in so not pushing yet. Did push it quite a bit during initial test drives.
This car is well-suited for long-distance cruising as opposed to congested roads. Pick-up is powerful, but slightly lethargic from stationary till the engine hits the 1700 rpm mark when all 300Nm come in.
Interior is excellent, although I am used to more boot (over/under) space in my previous ride. The flexibility of the seating arrangements plus the middle seat 3-pt seat belt help to seat different groups of passengers.
Build quality is on par with the usual continental cars like BMW and Merc, but still short of Audi and Lexus (perceived) quality. Feels solid. Doors close with a solid thunk.
