Ford Galaxy 2012

Ford Galaxy Zetec 1.6 Petrol Eco Boost


0 - 62 in 9.9 seconds
Top Speed 125 mph,
This is a 1.6 litre eco-boost engine.
160 bhp.
177 lb-FT torque (which isn't enough). . It struggles quite a bit with the 1.6 eco-boost. This car has a CD player and air conditioning. But can only take one CD at a time. It also has a 6 speed manual gearbox. The car has the basic set of alloy wheels because it is only a Zetec model, which is the basic one. It is a good idea to keep it over 4500 Rpm in order to get enough power, in every gear.

Just does not have the power for the long motorway journeys unless you are prepared to keep the revs extremely high, then it will be fine but I still recommend the 2 litre if you are on the motorway for long periods of time. either the 163bhp which you could just about get away with but you still have to keep the revs up high they should ideally be kept between 3500 rpm and 4500 to get the most out of the diesel because it doesn't have enough torque. As specially for the motorway journeys but for the town journeys. This car is great for driving around town, short distances like school runs, but the fuel consumption is rubbish, it drinks fuel like nobodies business.
The Best fuel consumption you can hope for is about 25 mpg but averages about 17 mpg, which is most likely what you will be getting because of how you need to drive this motor due to the high Rpm needed to get the most out of the engine, Because the engine is underpowered for the size of the car. this vehicles eco boost engine has an tendency's to blow up. This vehicle also comes with heated windscreen
