FORD GALAXY FULL REVIEW - CAR & DRIVING

Sometimes nothing other than a proper large MPV will do. Ford's original Galaxy used to be a large MPV and then all of a sudden it wasn't.

With the 2006 model year Galaxy, the gloves came off and Ford showed what its considerable R&D budget was capable of when given free rein. The Galaxy has won over even the most curmudgeonly reviewers and the public have taken to it as well. Here's what to look for when buying used.
