1996 Ford Galaxy Aspen review from UK and Ireland
"Nice looking, good runner when it's working!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 88,000 miles.
Still leaking water after head gasket was machined, skimmed and replaced. Suspected crack in block which could mean a new engine needs fitting!!!
Tire replacement. Tires wear quickly on this model.
Seats stain easily with the gray interior. I would advise families with children to buy seat covers and floor mats for this model.
I love the size of the car, especially for a family of 5 children, but I shall not be extending my family again, so I will opt for a smaller car next time. Reading the reviews on here, it may be sooner than I anticipated!!
General comments?
Overall, I would not buy one of these cars again, as they are expensive to run, but they look nice and feel safe to be in.
