carwow can please review Suzuki Ciaz?

[@synpix_kazz5206]

Please review Ford galaxy

[@udayprasad5527]

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

[@davidhayes4814]

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.

[@philipporter4433]

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.

[@AdiL-vz6xx]

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.

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. :)

[@carwow]

Thanks Sieras :)

[@vincenzo00]

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.

[@sunil_iitdelhi6944]

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

[@Nonamenever557]

Our people carriers really do suck compared to the stuff on the US market in value, comfort and just about every aspect.

[@Horizon301.]

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

[@wisecountryman49]

Joke or not, YES! My family is way more important than me.

[@hmhassan4312]

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.

[@rubel247]

this is the biggest touran they made so far

[@dragospahontu]

I think the VW Sportsvan is the best value for money veedub

[@SunsetAngel69]

This is the most uncomfortable car for a 7 passenger car. The last row of seats is so cramped, you’re not sitting but crouching down. Once you use that last row of seat for passengers, good luck putting anything in the trunk bc there is no space at all. Def not a road trip car for 7 people. Maybe 5 people would be spacious but def not 7

[@ethanmees2618]

[@aymenbouaroudj9049]

Caddie or touran ??

[@dragospahontu]

O think the VW Sportsvan is the best value for money veedub. But between those two I'd have the Caddy.

[@dragospahontu]

Which one did you chose?

[@manjulanishantha8721]

Do not ever buy a Volkswagen Touran SE Family 1.6 DSG 7speed automatic 2018 car. It has a faulty on clutch. Every about 30000-35000 miles have to change the clutch and it cost more money. I bought this car was in July 2018 and since that changed the clutch twice. 1st time about 35000miles and again 2nd time about 62000miles. If anybody want to buy a car, try another model

[@dragospahontu]

But did you have warranty? It's completely normal to have to change the clutch on these DSG7 DQ 200, which are dry clutch gearboxes. On any dry dual clutch gearbox you have to change the clutches which aren't very expensive and they'll change them under warranty. They are used on low power engine cars to save fuel and lower C02 emissions, on cars with more than 250nm the dsg7 has wet clutches like on the DQ381. Bit for these cars a dry clutch system is good enough and normally they last over 60,000miles so maybe you drive a lot in the city and burned up the clutches faster.

[@dragospahontu]

What happened? Are you safe?

[@dragospahontu]

You don't know how to use dsg.

[@rocnikrocnik]

Minibus s manuálem?? Proč? Touran nejezdí okruhy, proto pouze s DSG!

[@macaron3141592653]

So you're telling me that a 6 ft man can fit in the third row of a car that is shorter in length than a civic sedan? What a bunch of bullshit. The only reason our family never got a minivan is because the ones here in the states are insanely massive. We need cars like this here, but with stronger engines (the 1.8 or 2.0 tsi) and maybe an extended wheelbase for more space. It would be perfect.
