Volkswagen Touran (2003 - 2010) 2.0 TDI PD SE (170ps) 5d (7 Seat) (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

This man has kids.

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

They think it looks larger than my Golf though that is mostly because it is taller and squarer. They like the practicality of the seats (it has 7 and some are removeable). They like the internal storage cubbies.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - because it is much like a Golf to drive but with more space inside and flexible seating.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Touran, Skoda Yeti or Skoda Octavia Estate.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,990

When did you buy the car?

August 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think I got a good deal. The vehicle has a full VW dealer service history from the garage that serviced my previous car (a Golf). It was in good condition and came with 12 months MOT.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I needed a larger vehicle as I have recently become a dad and now have a lot of baby stuff to transport on regular trips between Cambridgeshire and Scotland.

What was the dealer like?

Reasonably good. Communicated via text and email when I had questions about the vehicle.

What's it like to drive?

Drives smoothly even though it has 92,000 miles. Feels very like my Golf to drive although a bit slower and with more road noise.

What's it like to park?

Much like my Golf only slightly longer.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not so far.

What's most practical about your car?

The amount of interior space compared to my previous car (a Golf) is much more although overall dimensions are only 20cm longer and the same width.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The automatic air conditioning.
