Volkswagen Touran 2.0TDI SPORT 2004

Previously had a Zafira and the Touran I’ve now got leaves it standing for quality and performance. Loves motorways and give it a steep hill to get stuck into and the torque is unreal; it just pulls effortlessly . On the downside it is a bit of a bumpy ride on certain roads but I’m not going to blame the car - I would rather blame that on miss spent road tax.

Volkswagen Touareg 2005

I have had my VW Touareg 2.5 TDi for a year and have been very pleased with its performance. It is a solid, sturdy vehicle, extremely comfortable, a little heavy on fuel, but the quality of the car makes up for it. The finish is excellent, the accessories exceeded my expectations. Having driven various VW models over the past 18 years or so, my entire family is a VW fan and the VW Touareg has certainly been my favourite to date.

Volkswagen Transporter 130 tdi kombi 2005

This van has been in the garage more times than I can remember. Problems such as leaking rear windows, clutch, steering vibration, water pump, paint problems around side door handle, power steering fluid problems, loss of drive to gearbox due to input shaft worn, rollers on doors not rolling, clunking sound on steering full lock when turning slowly. All items have at some point been rectified under warranty but now the warranty period is up I wonder if its time to call it a day with this van at 65,000 miles. It has no way been as good as the 6 other t4 vans that I have owned, all of which have done above 110,000 miles. As a self employed electrician, a good van is why I paid 20k plus for this one and other lone vans I have had have felt like the quality element as gone.

Volkswagen Caddy 1.9 tdi 104ps 2004

Very reliable vehicle. My caddy has 170k on the clock now and is as tight and lively as it was when new. Acceleration is superb through all the gears helped by a fantastic little turbo unit, even when fully loaded. Fuel economy is good, Motorway travel averages 49mpg whilst around town it will do 39 - 41mpg. Cabin is spacious, well laid out and very comfortable. Road noise is low and if you did not have the slightly restricted view out the back you would believe that you were in an MPV. Parts, when they do need replacing can be pricey but then again it is a Volkswagen and the parts do last. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who was looking for a reliable load-lugger. Only 4 stars because nothing is perfect!

Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDI 105 S 2008

I first bought a Golf in 2002, it was the Mk 4 and it gave me 5 years of reliable, pleasurable driving. I had never been so happy with a car so I did not hesitate in moving onto the Mk 5 when I felt it was time to upgrade my motor. The Gold now looks even better and every aspect has been improved upon. It is a fantastic all-rounder that gives sublime performance, reliability and practical for a busy lifestyle. I like to be able to make adjustments to get the best driving position and the Gold allows me to get the seat and steering wheel just right (until my girlfriend borrows the car and then I’m back to square one again...). I know that the residual values are extremely strong and although I plan to keep for car for at least 5 years it’s good to know that it will still be worth a decent amount even then. Green cars are very much in vogue at the moment and my variant has low emissions of 132g/km and high fuel economy of 56 miles per gallon. The Golf is a car that can fit into any household, it does everything you need from a car. 5 stars*****

Volkswagen Golf 1.6-litre FSI 2007

Everything about the Golf is quality. It offers a smooth and refined ride and is the most comfortable and quietest car that I have ever taken onto the motorway, road and wind noise are almost non-existent. This is the best car in its class and the attention to detail shown in the interior makes being in the cabin a complete joy. Everything works well, reliability is second to none and the fuel economy is pretty good. The icing on the cake are the excellent residual values which makes the Gold attractive to buy new, or as in my case, lease. The best small family car / hatchback.

Volkswagen Polo 1.2 60 E 2006

Never lets me down, nice to drive, comfortable for driver and passengers, good boot which becomes masive with the back seats are folded down, cheap to run - can’t really ask for much more from a car can you?
