VW Touran? Jeez, does your wife let you carry your balls in your fanny pack or does she keep it in her purse?

The Touran is an incredibly versatile vehicle.
- 7 seats
- Flat floor about 2m in length when all seats are folded
- 2 cubes of cargo space when all seats are flat, even more with the front passenger seat folded forward (flat)
- Economical - I’m getting about 5.6L/100km in mixed driving
- super comfortable on the open road
- decent performance from the notoriously frugal engine
What’s not to like?

The same can be said for the Fiat Multipla… go on your knees daily and say thank you that you are married already, with that car you’ll never get a girlfriend…KurtG wrote:The Touran is an incredibly versatile vehicle.
