Typhoonz 4th Gear August 22, 2014 Author Share August 22, 2014 For the family bus, you still should get a reliable japanese one. For me it's only Toyota and honda. They are really slightly better than the rest. Parts supply is plentyful. With the ford you are at the mercy of the dealer should something major breaks cause hardly anyone else will hold the parts. Unless you can afford to have down time while you get the parts shipped in. Not a must to change but looking around and came across this... I agree maintenance and parts availability is important...

Magfocus 5th Gear August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 RS or ST? RS. I guess the main thing to look out for in the Galaxy would be the powershift gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
