Volkswagen Touran (2003 - 2010) 1.9 TDI DPF S (105ps) 5d (07) (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

A man with family.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They don't say anything ! My partner thinks it is another boring average family MPV.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would like to do but recent price hike meant we can't. It's a lot of money for family transporter.

What are you likely to buy next?

I'd go for ex-demo VW Passat Estate with full of gadget. Cheaper than Touran yet more gadget and decent size boot.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£14,150

When did you buy the car?

September 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

We bought our Touran through the internet broaker. It was keenly priced.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We need a reliable family transporter.

What was the dealer like?

They're very professinal. I can't say much about their service as I never went back since I collected my car.

What's it like to drive?

Despite its size and height, Touran is very easy to drive and in fact, it's a fun to drive twisty road until kids in the rear start to complain. On motorway, it's an effortless cruiser.

What's it like to park?

It's got 7 seat but the length the same as Golf Hatchback. It's very easy to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

At 45,000 miles on the clock, engine coolant leaked, however my local dealer quickly dealt with it under warranty.

What's most practical about your car?

It is useful to have such a huge boot. Our annual camping trip to France is ever easier than before. It's very economical, too. I usually get 52-56MPG on commuting mix of motorway and A-Road. It can reach 65MPG when determined.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

There isn't much fancy gadget on this basic S trim Touran but I don't really care.
