The FORD GALAXY (2000-06) 5DR MPV 2.3 GHIA 7 SEAT AUTO4 is a practical people carrier, not a hatchback or SUV. With seven seats and an automatic gearbox, it was designed to move families and groups, and belongs to the roomy family MPV class that was popular in the UK. Ghia trim adds a more upmarket feel, while the 2.3-litre petrol engine and four-speed automatic suit relaxed family journeys more than fuel-conscious commuting. mycarcheck.com records 126 look-ups covering 49 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot.
