Ford galaxy - 7 Seater Car
The Ford Galaxy is a 7 seater car. The Ford Galaxy is very popular in the UK. There are five Ford Galaxy petrol models about 15 diesel Ford Galaxy versions. The Ford Galaxy specification ranges from basic to luxurious. All Ford Galaxy's have 7 seats. The seven seats are all individual chairs, the back two chairs fold down on themselves. There is good passenger space compared to most other 7 seater cars. All Ford Galaxy's come with air conditioning and a CD player. Parking sensors come as standard with all Ghia Ford Galaxy models. The larger passenger area makes the Ford Galaxy a good choice if you regularly use all 7 seats!

Miles Per Gallon (MPG)
The Ford Galaxy Diesel Estate 1.8 TDCi Edge is the most economical Ford Galaxy with an average of 45.6 miles per gallon. The least economical Ford Galaxy is the 2.3 Edge Auto Estate model which gives a less attractive 28.8 miles to the gallon. This information is provided on information in 2009. Newer models will vary from this.
Remember that there are about 4.54 litres per gallon so at today's prices (£1.08 per litre of diesel and £1.05 for a litre of Petrol). It will cost you £4.90 to do around 46 miles with the 1.8 TDCi Ford Galaxy model and £4.80 to do about 28.8 miles with the 2.3 Edge Ford Galaxy model.
Or you could say it would cost about 10.5 pence per mile with the 1.8 diesel model and 16.5 pence a mile with the petrol model. A full tank of diesel (70 litres) would cost around £75.60 and you would get around 700 miles from a full tank of diesel (1.8 Tdci Ford Galaxy) and 440 miles with the 2.3 Edge petrol Ford Galaxy.
Ford Galaxy tyres
The cost of four tyres varies and is dependent on the width of your tyres or whether or not you have alloy wheels. The basic model has 16 inch tyres which are relatively cheap and easily available.
Specification Information
The Ford Galaxy top speed is 119 miles per hour and it can reach 62 miles per hour in 13.8 seconds. The Ford Galaxy is 4.82 metres in length, 2.154 metres wide (including mirrors). The luggage space is specified as 308 litres. The ford Galaxy has 5 Gears and a 5 star NCAP rating.
Insurance Group
The Ford Galaxy insurance group ranges from 10 to 11. This is quite high compared to other 7 seater car options that are currently available.
Offers
Most Ford dealers will offer you a 0% deal on a new model. Although the dealers may cost slightly more than some online price comparison sites, car supermarkets etc, the overall cost comparison is pretty favourable considering the additional APR cost when going through a price comparison/supermarket site. However if you have the money upfront and can pay without a loan your best option is to use price comparison sites to source your vehicle.
Extras for your Ford Galaxy 7 Seater car
Air conditioning and a CD player come as standard with a Ford Galaxy. You could purchase an advanced navigation system for £920.00, but I'm not sure what this is. Perhaps it is even better than satellite navigation. The basic colours are blazer blue and frozen white, otherwise for a different colour you are looking at £437.00. Alloy wheels will cost you approximately £644.00.
