    Ready to pay for quality

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

    Great once they've been in it. What is amazing given the size of the car is that I can sit quite comfortably in the third row of seats, unlike any of its competitors that I've tried.

    Yes. It just makes a great package, but not cheap to buy.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Another Touran is quite likely.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Great fun in the dry, fine in the wet, but like any front wheel drive car with such wide typres, even with traction control and ABS, it is horrible on snow and ice.

    Not bad, but visibility of corners, especially front corners is not good
