Buying a seven-seater for £12k - Ford or Vauxhall?

I am considering a used Ford Galaxy or Vauxhall Zafira for £12,000. Which model is best?

Ford Galaxy without a doubt. It's far nicer to drive and to ride in and is much more reliable. See the entries in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar

Good to drive and comfortable. Versatile with foldaway seats. Generally good quality. Diesel automatic option. Plenty of room in all back seats.
Compact yet can house seven people. Rearmost seats fold into floor. More versatile mid-row seating than previous model. Excellent diesel auto.
