What Car? says
For It's a practical and cheap compact MPV with a comfortable ride and willing diesel engines
Against It's not the sharpest car to drive and the smaller engines are too weedy
Verdict
The best version yet of the original compact MPV
Go for… 1.9 diesel Expression
Avoid… 1.4/1.6 petrols
- 1. The bulky pillars and small rear screen are frustrating when reversing
- 2. Check for electrical glitches, like windows with a mind of their own and indicators that cancel themselves
- 3. The best engine for this car is the 1.9 dCi turbodiesel
- 4. Maintenance costs are just above average, and servicing a VW Touran will be cheaper
- 5. Squealing brakes can be common, and often fixed by using a different type of brake pad
