• Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    I have lots of kids!

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

    They like it. if they had as many kids, they probably would get it too.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes. there are no alternatives out there in the "premium MPV" sector with electric sliding doors apart from the identical VW Sharan.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Seat Alhambra. I will wait for a facelift version and get a DSG model with more horse power, as the extra weight of the electics makes the car slower (and sadly also impacts the fuel economy).
