Just got me a Touran full equip, DSG and with RLine finish, and just like to thank you for your great review. Could not agree with you more on your opinions about the car. The family loves it, and it just ticks all the boxes.
Thanks for the review Bob. Many ill informed folks say they can/would never drive a mini van. Whether it is a European micro minivan or a bloated US minivan. The comfort, practicality and efficency can't be topped! I challenge any and all......tell me a passenger vehicle that can seat 8, fit a 4'x8' sheet of drywall and be comfy on a 2500mile round trip to Florida on under$200 in gas(petrol)?....The answer.....Minivan! So, be confident in ur manhood and just tell everyone it is the wife's car.
I have the VW Sharan. I have had it one year and the only fault I can find with that is you have to alter the clock manually when we change the clocks in spring and autumn.
Changed battery yesterday, now Airbag dash light is on, is the only way to get rid of it to pay & get a auto electrical place & pay to scan it etc etc to get rid of it? 07 Model.
Great Review, Bob! I need some advice. I'm buying used and looking at two cars. A 2015 2.0 Tdi 140 7 seater highline Touran, and a 2016 Kadjar. The Kadjar has only 60k kms and gets 26.3km/l while the Touran has 172k kms and gets 19.2km/l. Price is the same for both cars. I got 3 boys - ages 5, 3, and 1. Any recommendation? Thanks!
νικος γιώργος I've answered your point, there is no exterior footage of the car. I've asked you to look at the video description where I make it obvious that there is no exterior shots save the couple at the beginning. What should I do, take the video down and add in some footage and reupload? If you have something useful to add to the conversation then feel free otherwise I haven't avoided your point.
in my opinion the new 308 SW Is the best option if your in the market for a sw style car, great to drive, very economical and reliable! also being a peugeot very safe! good luck with purchace!
+Thomas Clarke Peugeot just a better car in my opinion! It has full led adaptive lights keyless entry, 9" touchscreen reversing camera... All the extras, the 1.6 HDI is the best engine, engine of the year last year!
+Thomas Clarke but the Alhambra is the direct rival of the Sharan. The closest Seat to the Touran would be the Ateca. But regardless, the Alhambra would win hands down. Seat have that Latin flair that VW lacks.
Lol, you look miserable as sin in the opening shots to this ;o) Noo, don't buy the van with seats!! ;o) I don't get it, they say that if you have kids, you need one of these, I was a teenager with an older and younger sister and in the 80s, we managed in the back of a 3 door Fiesta!! :o)
Perhaps the most boring car on sale, it screams "yes I have children and they are the only thing that keeps me from ending it all, I have zero imagination and the young virile man I used to be is long gone"
+S. coffeepots it doesn't have to be boring, I think what you're talking about happens to everyone. It's called growing up, people with no kids want them. People with kids want time alone, we all want what we can't have.
Just ordered a Touran for the family. Your review was great help in the decision. Thanks! 👍
Niclas Dahlström how is it?
I drove a Touran for 2 days and I thought the wing mirrors were a bit small. That's pretty much the only negative thing I can say about it...

Nice, I’m happy for you. Enjoy that car fella
i prefer a manual to an automatic personally. I think the VWTouran is an excellent family car. Bob Flavin is good at reviewing cars.

I love it when Flavin uses a lot of superlatives to describe a car that is more boring than a visit to Switzerland!

+Robert Lunn we've been to the moon and a car still can't keep up with summer time.
How much leg space in the back seats? Are they heated?
You mentioned its compfy for the driver. What about the passengers?
Changed battery yesterday, now Airbag dash light is on, is the only way
to get rid of it to pay & get a auto electrical place & pay to scan it etc
etc to get rid of it? 07 Model.
Love your choice of music and editing for in(ou)tro! Respect your reviews! Top job!!
+Andrej Gobec takes ages to find the right tune
+Bob Flavin well, sir .... your effort is appreciated!
Great Review, Bob! I need some advice. I'm buying used and looking at two cars.

Any recommendation? Thanks!
Is this also the US Chrysler van and, on the rear license, there is something written in Gaelic. How does it translate?
+hugglescake the Irish name for the town the car is registered in, this one is Dublin so the Irish is Baile Atha Cliath
Better than c4 grand Picasso?
Enjoyable review. Great presenting style.
Great review! Any chance of you getting the new Tiguan for a spin?
+almohndes9 literally sitting in Berlin airport after driving the new Tiguan. It's good and on the MQB chassis so drives like the rest of the range
great review vw bob, have VW asked you what colour you want your freebie to be ???
+t5jerry I'd rather they'd ask me how much money I'd like to have! Cheers dude, thanks for watching (and sharing)

got ya, loving the seat stuff at moment, have the new Leon St Fr now looking at car for my wife???
in my opinion the new 308 SW Is the best option if your in the market for a sw style car, great to drive, very economical and reliable! also being a peugeot very safe! good luck with purchace!
+308 ALLURE HDI
in what way better? less power, led lights?????
+Thomas Clarke Peugeot just a better car in my opinion! It has full led adaptive lights keyless entry, 9" touchscreen reversing camera... All the extras, the 1.6 HDI is the best engine, engine of the year last year!
dayummmm that intro tho
this or seat???
Seat Ateca , no contest.
No the Alahambra!!! Direct comparison??
+Thomas Clarke but the Alhambra is the direct rival of the Sharan. The closest Seat to the Touran would be the Ateca. But regardless, the Alhambra would win hands down. Seat have that Latin flair that VW lacks.
having a new car every week the neighbours must hate you.
+carjacker0 they are well used to it.
Do the new yeti 4x4 lad.
+John Brennan on the way
