2003 Volkswagen Touran Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Solid and safe with a bit of oomph"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The diesel pre-heater smokes excessively when it is started.
Total battery drain occurred when rain water tracked along the wiring into a junction box controlling the rear heater.
The alarm activates soon after setting with no apparent cause.
There are lots of untraceable buzzes and rattles from the dashboard area.
General comments?
The cabin space is roomy and comfortable with good leg room in the back (5 seater)
It's often difficult to open the roof cubby holes.
Quite a sporty feel for an MPV.
