The Roomster is a similar version to a people carrier?

Its not nearly as big as a Galaxy & it doesn't cut the mustard for West End executive work (where as a top of the range Galaxy with tinted windows does).

I wouldn't have said any Ford would cut the mustard for West End exec work ...but you're probably right!

DD2 has gone to Yorkshire in her Fabia for New Year with passengers, canoes, wet/dry and warm gear, sleeping bags etc, crockpot, outfits for James Bond Do, and I hope clean knickers. As we haven't had any contact we assume car is running well!

A 25K ghia Galaxy with tinted windows does.

Look at Addison Lee (biggest private hire firm in London) they've changed all their fleet to black Ford Galaxys.

I had a free 48 hour test drive of the roomster - nice thing, but not comfy on motorways. Well not in the outside lane of the M6 doing a ton!! Did about 300 miles in it from memory. Very good on fuel tho.

I remember years ago selling a Galaxy 2.8 V6 Ultima Auto 6 seat. It was in Mica Stone Pearl with white leather, gold badges and chrom centre caps on the alloys. Very bling-tastic...!!

I bought a Fabia from Mitchells in Ellesmere Port and I can have (as can anyone who has bought a Skoda from them) a free car wash every Saturday morning while I enjoy a free coffee/tea/hot chocolate and cakes in their curtesy lounge. The after service is seconed to none and the Skoda is so reliable, it's a make I will stick with.

the staff in there are brillaint. When I was in there everyone who bought a car got a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge boquet of flowers. I went on a test drive in one of their cars once and when I got back they had washed my car off for me!!
