Volkswagen\u2019s Touran may not be the first car you think of in this market but it is one of the most accomplished and likeable. Available as both a five and seven seater.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it like inside?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Inside the Touran is light, spacious and comfortable. On the practical side it also offers great seating flexibility; in the back the second row of three individual seats can, slide forwards or backwards, moved sideways or simply removed completely.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>What is it like to drive?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Touran is surprisingly fun to drive given its dull exterior. It handles well, has good weighted steering and offers responsive and relaxing driving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it likely to cost<br \/>\n<\/strong>The five door version is priced from \u20ac25,245 and goes up to \u20ac34,385. The seven seater is available from \u20ac28,235 and rises to \u20ac37,310. Average combined fuel consumption for the seven seater ranges from 5.3 litres per 100km to 6.2 litres.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Overall<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Touran is possibly the least known vehicle in the VW range and this is probably due in part to quite dull styling. Styling aside the Touran is a good, solid, family car with excellent safety features and great comfort levels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/vwtouranint.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-58\" title=\"vwtouranint\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/vwtouranint.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/vwtouranint.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/vwtouranint-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volkswagen Touran<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Engine size: <\/strong>1.6, 2.0 Diesel<br \/>\n<strong>Dimensions (LxWxH):<\/strong> 4.39 x 1.79 x 1.67<br \/>\n<strong>Economy:<\/strong> 5.3 \u2013 6.2 l\/100 km (9.9 \u2013 14.7 0 \u2013 100 kph)<br \/>\n<strong>Performance: <\/strong>66 \u2013 103kW<br \/>\n<strong>Emissions (motor tax): <\/strong>121-140 g\/km (\u20ac160 \u2013 \u20ac225)<br \/>\n<strong>Boot Capacity <\/strong>Seats up (seats down): Not Available<br \/>\n<strong>Doors: <\/strong>5 doors<br \/>\n<strong>Euro NCAP \u2013 Overall: <\/strong>5 stars<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
