Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I am very happy with the car, despite the minor annoyance of the infotainment system. I would definitely recommend this car for an entry level 7 Seater SUV. You get so much for the money, that you would have to pay extra for on others. Just 3 more things that could been added to make this car even better.. Heated steering wheel, heated windscreen and Blind Spot detection in the wing mirrors.

How reliable do you find the car?

No mechanical issues. Infotainment is lacking, and a known problem as it keeps randomly shutting down and restarting during a journey. And I had an issue with the rear coast-to-coast light bar cracking after a hot few days. This was replaced under warranty as it seemed to be a manufacturing fault.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I am glad I got the 245ps TSI as its very quick (0-60 in 6secs!) manoeuvres very well, and fun when you want it be. Downside is that it drinks fuel like a fish when you do put it in Sport mode. The rear 2 seats are good enough for small children (under 5ft) but no good for adults. When the seats are down there is tons of space. The middle row has two heated seats (outer seats) and plenty of leg room. If I had to buy one again, I would definitely look at the 190ps or 200ps Diesel versions just for the mpg. But..I would miss how fun this is to drive. So if you want a family car, with all the bells and whistles, but can also have fun when your on your own, this is a fantastic car.
