2007 Volkswagen Transporter T5 TDI review from UK and Ireland
"The new generation of van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The van is still young, so nothing yet.
General comments?
This is the new generation of van, it's as quick as our 110 PD TDI Golf. It really is a dream to drive. It will sit at 70 mph EASILY. It really is like driving a nice car.
There are only 2 downsides of the T5... the seats could be better, they could do with that little bit extra bolster support, but it is a van at the end of the day.
The whistle of the turbo is loud and high pitched, and annoys me, but for a diesel van the rest of the engine is very quiet.
