Have had a Touran 2.0 TDI for 5 years, 45k miles. Car is super reliable, very practical and has handled whatever we have thrown at it splendidly. Handles and drives like a hatchback, enough power to handle daily commutes plus occasional trips. Seats are comfy, kids love their “tablet-trays” and the 3rd row seats are suitable for adults as well. We bought this car when my twins were newborns and have had some Wonderful memories along the way. If you’re looking for a budget friendly 7 seater car then look no further. This is probably the only review I’ve ever written online and that probably shows how much we’ve enjoyed using this car over the last 5 years
The fact that the car's speaker picks up the voices so the people in the third row can hear is AMAZING. When my friends and I go out in his car (Expedition EL) I can never hear the people in the front from the third row.
I’m very satisfied with our 2018 TDI Touran. Having 3 growing up lads the rav4 space is no longer enough. I like the space and extra 2 seats at the back. We also bought Thule box for added space during roadtrips. Belfast to Dublin round trip around 300miles on £30 diesel.
This latest obsession with cross over SUVs is a pity because medium sized people carriers are very practical.The Touran SE with 150ps diesel is almost exactly the same price as the 2wd Tiguan SE with 150ps. The Touranis an exceptionally roomy, practical vehicle. The 2wd Tiguan has no more function than the golf: style over substance.
It's weird they are called "SUV's" I find. so "Sports" there's nothing sporty about them, "Utility" compared to what exactly? add very little extra compared to most cars, their height and elevated driving position is helpful for some so I suppose i'll give them that.
i still have 2007 from brand new , fucking awsome car 2 litter diesel manual , 140 bhp stock , 7 people easy ,,, i v taken all the seats out only left front two , car is soo light , and post remap i can take on cars like bmw 520d .... fuel economy out of a full fuel tank is around 1000 km if driven carefully , all rouder its a freaking awsome car , :)
The VW Touran has a practical and great interior very easy to drive great quality light weight doors and the cloth seats are more comfortable than leather
I used to own a 2007 VW Touran and it was a truly brilliant car. It had many more storage cubbies than my 2018 Passat and the rear seats could slide and recline unlike my Passat.
The first ever review where I agree with everything matt has said, but just adding to the point you made about the infotainment. It is touchscreen and you can use a selector wheel. The button on the opposite side of the volume is the selector and you twist it.
Yes, another lighter colour would ve a very nice change. Every Touran I see these days seem to be the same old boring dark blue. A lighter colour wld give it a bit more pep.
I just bought a new one...Trendline 1.5TSI MY 2021...6 speed manual, business pack (GPS - Panorama-roof ..) 7 seats - rear view camera - mirror pack - family pack - dolphin grey metallic -.... 27.745 € all in...🥳🥳
I actually know what you mean about the 1.2 TSI engine Mat, i have one in my Yeti, surprisingly rapid for an engine that displaces as much as... well a milk carton :P:
Sorry I am not familiar with fleet taxation in the UK, but why is it that corporate fleets should want cars with under 100g/km CO2? Are there more discounts than being tax free and London congestion charge exempt?
appelpower1 What if people want to?? It's not my cup of tea yet some people don't like pills, rubbers and enjoy eachother. Rather get an SUV. Some also in 7 seater options.
Firemarioflower True, but if you really want to this is the unfortunate consequence. The only option is indeed a seven-seater SUV, but the only affordable ones aren't very good cars.
Not really as you can get lots of high speced ones regardless theses aren't the most popular in the UK. In America they are so maybe that's why, Volkswagen probably spend the most in designing their MOV then other European manafacturers
You're very sympathetic person Mat. Pls write on the screen they're talking for example horse power, torque and other technical specs. Greetings from Turkey
He claimed the car was doing 55,3 mpg, but if you watch the video at 6:14 the car is't running and but there is background road noise. HMMM. Watch carefully. that's a bit of a con.
The mpg is an average over a period of time. You do not need to be in motion to see your mpg average. They cannot film the speedometer and dash while the car is driving, due to safety.
And the background noise is because the narration is happening while driving, and the speedometer recording is separate. They have voiced over the speedometer filming, to get the narration of the mpg during the mpg filming. Common sense.
its all good but it would have been brilliant if there is leather seats because it is a family car and little kids make mess and vomit etc. so leather seats make sense in this type of cars.

they make an awesome taxi 19300 miles still going pulls like a train
have you bought it new or used?
Just brought a 2016 1.6 tdi in Sweden and i really like it so far!
"Door bins are so big you can carry a baby turn it into a 9 seater" funniest quote for an ordinary MPV review
We have the very first ones from, from 2003. 2l TDI, with 260000 km on the clock. Still runs well and it's a part of the family haha
The fact that the car's speaker picks up the voices so the people in the third row can hear is AMAZING. When my friends and I go out in his car (Expedition EL) I can never hear the people in the front from the third row.
My kids find it really funny, specifically when I sing
The joy you feel when you see Mat's video pop up
Give it the Golf R's engine and transmission and it'll be a perfect family hauler.

how has nobody come out with that ratchet tray system yet? Simple, yet genius!
My brother has just bought one he loves it! Good for speed and comfort
i get mine in 2 weeks times!
I wish we had this touran in Australia
5:45 his face is epic, laughed so hard!!
love this version wish that my centre had this version
Mat, your videos are amazing
actually you are amazing
Waiting for your review on Toyota Proace Verso
Mat has won me over. The best reviews and he's dead funny 😊

Australia needs this mpv 👍👍👍
And the check engine is ON.. It is a VW's favourite :) ( 6:14)
Look again, then you notice that speedometer is at 0 and revs also at 0, meaning it was edited into the video after wards
Just great video: all aspects are explained
I used to own a 2007 VW Touran and it was a truly brilliant car. It had many more storage cubbies than my 2018 Passat and the rear seats could slide and recline unlike my Passat.
The Passat is more efficient though
yes exactly, I have accepted that my family is far more important than me LOL 😂
I do love my Touran, got the 190bhp DSG version which is rapid!
Maybe TSI is more reliable.
How much oils does it burn?
@@dragospahontu not noticed any burning oil. Does about 40mpg mixed driving

The Carbuyer channel uploaded a Mustang review a little while ago
+TheMatteoStudios ohhh i thought it said carwow 😂🙈🙈
Haha lol
Yeah you need the top spec to look good, previous Touran's was better looking. But have to say it's frickin capable, even as a single I want it :D
+MatWatsonCars +CarWow at 3:00 you praise BMW for the practicality. Opps! 😃
at last a good review about this car. in another color it looks much better, and with R-Line exterior even better. but price would go up even more. :)
Thanks Sieras :)
Yes, another lighter colour would ve a very nice change. Every Touran I see these days seem to be the same old boring dark blue. A lighter colour wld give it a bit more pep.

do a review on the vw sharan
Touran 2018 Published On June 2016
How is the driving position? I'm looking for a higher seating position and a car that is easy to get in and out of for someone with a bad back
When is the new vw toureg review?
Mat please do a review of VW CC 177 BHP :P
We need one about the ford galaxy!
Can u review the Ford galaxy
Any chance of an amarock review
A vw sharan review would b nice
Is there a version with only two seats on the back??
I have the 2007 touran it didn't come with a spare tyre, do these have?
The spare tyre came with the 5 seater only
There's a CD player behind the passenger side fascia!!
Could you review the vw sharan?
I think the VV Sportsvan is the best value for money veedub
Amazing review. Thanks for the perfect run down!
Please review the VW Tiguan (2017).
How do you film these videos?
A man points a camera at me, he presses record, then I say things. ;-)
+MatWatsonCars what do you use to edit?
he had now released the amount of subscribers this TH-cam channel has and he will probably get more than carbuyer
Any chanceofan amarock review
Pls do a Peugeot review e.g. 308sw 3008 208 or the new 2008 or new 3008
The only car you would ever need.
Still better looking than a Prius. And cooler, and faster.
I love this Car
Can we get a review on th vw atlas plz plz plz I've watched a few but non give me what I want! I need a carwow review plz
engine light on at 6:13 lol
Its a shot when the car's engine is off

Review the Mitsubishi xpander in asia
Did he say Vauxhall in the beginning?
Can someone give me advice around the apple car play. I’ve got a 2016 model and would love to get apple car play.
Go to the dealer to see what they can do about it.
Is it good!
Registered with carwow, no point dealers giving offers if they have no stock...
Touran or zafira 7 seater?
Don't buy this car...get a vasectomy instead.
comment of the week
ephphatha230 he I have this car its ducking horrible
How is this video 8 years ago and the car is 2018🤔
Perfect car ❤
Give us a break! Hehe keep up the good work!
6 and 7 Seats have ac ? Their are some vents
Do a 3m sub special soon
This car makes the 2 Granny Tourer really unnessecary. Perfection for when your life is over and you start a family.
Agreed, though the best solution is to not have (too many) kids.
appelpower1 What if people want to?? It's not my cup of tea yet some people don't like pills, rubbers and enjoy eachother.

Firemarioflower True, but if you really want to this is the unfortunate consequence. The only option is indeed a seven-seater SUV, but the only affordable ones aren't very good cars.
Our people carriers really do suck compared to the stuff on the US market in value, comfort and just about every aspect.
Not really as you can get lots of high speced ones regardless theses aren't the most popular in the UK. In America they are so maybe that's why, Volkswagen probably spend the most in designing their MOV then other European manafacturers
I wasn't the only one to notice the check engine light when he checked the MPG was I ... 😂
If you look at the speedometer he isn't going anywhere so he must have just started the engine
Yup!
Check engine light is always on when you have the ignition in acc mode.
a properly made car always turns the check engine light on when you turn the key
I have VW Touran
Is it good?
You're very sympathetic person Mat. Pls write on the screen they're talking for example horse power, torque and other technical specs. Greetings from Turkey
can someone tell me how tall Mat is?
5'11"… ish. Depends on the alignment of the moons
Caddie or touran ??
O think the VW Sportsvan is the best value for money veedub.
But between those two I'd have the Caddy.
Which one did you chose?
There is need for an engine review and underneath
He claimed the car was doing 55,3 mpg, but if you watch the video at 6:14 the car is't running and but there is background road noise. HMMM. Watch carefully. that's a bit of a con.

Yes, you can't beat common sense.
Already check engine light :)) . 6:12 , not quite encouraging to buy.
All the joy you experience when you see or have to ride in an MPV :(
The previous gen Touran is pretty good to drive and the first facelift looks fine too.
Please review about vw touran 1.2 tsi
any chance of a Ford S Max review ;)
The sharan makes more sense bigger and more practical.
In my friends car me and my friend go to the back 2 seats from the boot
I think your Car is broken, Steering Wheel is on the Wrong Side ! *appart from really nice review :-)
its all good but it would have been brilliant if there is leather seats because it is a family car and little kids make mess and vomit etc. so leather seats make sense in this type of cars.
I have now subscribed as carwow has met my minimum requirement of having 60k subscribers. This decision will be reviewed periodically ;)
Thanks!
this is very similar to the ford galaxy, which is the car we have.
its much easier to make a interior like this then that of the citroen.
This was made on my bday
my dad has a 2014 version
this is the biggest touran they made so far
I think the VW Sportsvan is the best value for money veedub
Like a lot of VWs and Audis it does everything so well, that it feels a bit dull, it lacks soul and character.
That's true for German cars in general though.
A Van Buren???
Nice family car
My friend has a VW Touran but it's old
Joke or not, YES! My family is way more important than me.
