With the 2007 Car of the Year, the Ford S-MAX taking all the headlines and new, it’s easy to fbypass that Ford also makes a more conventional people-car, the Ford Galaxy. Where the S-MAX is low, sporty and stylish, the Galaxy is tall and conventional, an old-school MPV.
The Ford Galaxy in 2.0 TDCi Ghia trim has a 2-litre diesel engine that only produces 141bhp, but backs this up with 251lb.ft of torque. On the road, this engine feels punchy. Combined with a typically Ford slick six-speed gearbox, the Galaxy can be rowed along at quite a pace.
