Volkswagen Touran (2003 - 2010) 2.0 TDI Match 5d (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Practical....for kids, surfboards, dogs etc! My Touran is in Biscay blue and looks good.

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

They love it!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definately. I love all the integrated, high spec stuff it comes with as standard, in comparison to having to pay extra for in the Ford S-MAX. It has more than enough room for my 3 kids and dog as well as having plenty of room to accommodate 7 fully grown adults when needed. It is an excellent car and so far i highly recommend it and i am so glad i didn't go for the prettier but in my opinion inferior S-MAX.

What are you likely to buy next?

Well, hoping to keep this for a good 5 or 6 years now, but possibly the Touran sport. But i am very happy with ours which is the Match model.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£16,995

When did you buy the car?

March 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

A got a good deal on my old car, given that the ABS unit needed replacing. Plus they replaced two front tyres on the Touran, filled it up with diesel, and serviced it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It test drove brilliantly and i needed the room with 3 young children. Traded my Seat Leon 2.0TDI Sport for the Touran.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, not pushy, and a fair dealer. Let us test drive it on our own (me and my husband took it in turns) and each took it for an 8 mile test drive. No complaints and we were allowed to do that as often as we liked.

What's it like to drive?

An absolute dream! Comfy, relaxing, no sickness from the kids in the back! It's about 0.6th sec slower to pull away than my Seat leon sport but once it's going it flies and is extremely smooth.

What's it like to park?

No problems especially with the front and rear parking sensors and park assist.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No..but we've had it less than a week.

What's most practical about your car?

The seven seats and the 3 back seats being indivdual so i can get 3 childrens car seats in. The rear and front parking sensors and the heat reflecting blacked out back windows.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The ipod connection! Fantastic sound system and the integrated Sat Nav. Oh and the massive amounts of storage space.
