2000 Volkswagen Sharan SE review from UK and Ireland
"Perfect 7 seater for large families"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only now, after 3 years, are niggling rattles and squeaks starting to annoy me.
Seats weigh a ton each and changing configuration is a pain (in the back!)
Swivel front seats is just a gimmick as it takes too much hassle to actually do it.
General comments?
Chosen over the Ford Galaxy because it was better equipped and over the Seat Alhambra because of Seat's depreciation.
Very comfortable, especially with the cruise control which works well.
Surprisingly quick and good acceleration between 50 and 70mph.
Incredible load area with all seats out.
